Whether you broil this tasty steak—or slap it on the grill, the acid in the marinade’s lime and pineapple juice will help tenderize it. Pair with sweet potatoes for a colorful, hearty summer hit! —Roxanne Chan, Albany, California

Fiesta Grilled Flank Steak Recipe

Prep: 20 min. + marinating Grill: 15 min.

Yield: 4 Servings

20 15 35

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 beef flank steak (1 pound)
1 cup cubed fresh pineapple
1/2 cup salsa verde
1 medium ripe California Avocado, peeled and cubed
1 green onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro

Directions

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the pineapple juice, lime juice, garlic salt and cumin. Score the surface of the beef, making diamond shapes 1/4 in. deep; place in bag. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
In a small bowl, combine the pineapple, salsa, avocado, green onion and cilantro. Cover and chill until serving.
Drain beef and discard marinade. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill steak, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°).
Let stand for 5 minutes; thinly slice across the grain. Serve with salsa. Yield: 4 servings.

Better than restaurant quality flavor. Tender, juicy and it still had that wonderful beef flavor.

This was really a fun way to serve flank steak. The salsa was really good. I used regular salsa instead of the verde and that too worked fine. I grilled the sliced sweet potatoes, and it did look nice.
