Spicy Flank Steak

Ingredients

  • teaspoons paprika
  • teaspoons ground coriander
  • teaspoons ground cumin
  • teaspoon garlic salt
  • pinch ground black pepper
  • pounds flank steak, cut into strips
  • /2 cup Ranch dressing

Instructions

  1. Step 1

    I rely on this spicy flank steak recipe when I need a fast, flavor-packed keto dinner. First, I combine the paprika, coriander, cumin, garlic salt, and black pepper right in a large resealable bag. After adding the steak strips, I seal and give it a good shake, then massage the bag to coat every piece thoroughly. I pop it in the fridge for 20 minutes—the brief marination really wakes up the spices. While the steak rests, I preheat the broiler and grease a baking sheet. Then, I spread the strips in a single layer. They sizzle under the broiler for 5 minutes per side, emerging with a caramelized crust and juicy interior. Keep an eye on them

  2. Step 2

    you might need an extra minute or two depending on your broiler's strength. The ranch dressing is the perfect cool, creamy contrast. I serve the steak straight from the broiler with a generous dipping bowl on the side. It's simple, spicy, and utterly satisfying.

Chef's Tip

For extra tenderness, always slice flank steak against the grain before seasoning. I let the meat rest at room temperature for 10 minutes before broiling to ensure it cooks evenly, and I never skip the ranch dipping sauce—it balances the heat beautifully.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave; the steak may dry out if overheated, so keep it brief.

Variation Tips

For a smoky twist, add a teaspoon of chipotle powder to the spice mix. You could also swap ranch for blue cheese dressing or a creamy avocado dip to change the flavor profile.
