Grilling the Steak

Step 1

Step 1: Prepare the Marinade

Rehydrate Peppers: Add the dried peppers, garlic, and hot broth to a sealable jar and close it tightly. Let it soak for at least 15 minutes to rehydrate and soften the peppers.

Blend Ingredients: Open the jar, add mineral salt, pepper, herbs, and cumin. Blend all the ingredients into a thick paste using a blender or immersion blender. Season to taste.

Marinate Steak: Place 1/2 of the marinade in a sealable bag or deep bowl and add the flank steak. Reserve the rest of the marinade in the fridge for another recipe, such as a base for chili instead of tomato paste.

Refrigerate: Seal the bag and let the steak marinate for 1 hour in the fridge (or up to overnight). For a quicker option, let it marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.

Step 2: Grill the Steak

  1. Preheat Grill: Fire up the grill to about 350°F.
  2. Cook Steak: Add the steak and cook for 20 minutes or until your desired doneness, searing on both sides for 2 minutes.
  3. Rest Steak: Remove the steak and tent it with foil to keep it warm. Let it rest for a few minutes.
  4. Dice Steak: Once rested, dice the steak into small 1/2-inch cubes. Use the steak in your salad or enjoy it in various meals throughout the week. The steak should last about 5-6 days in the fridge.

TIP: Add some smokiness to your salad with steak by grilling corn on the cob as well.
