- Step 1
In a bowl, whisk together the chipotle, honey and garlic. Whisk in the oil.
- Step 2
Season the steak all over with the salt. Pat the meat evenly with the chipotle mixture and let rest for at least an hour at room temperature, or as long as overnight in the refrigerator. If you’ve chilled it, let the steak come to room temperature before grilling.
- Step 3
Light the charcoal or preheat the grill. Brush off any bits of garlic or chile from the meat and grill, covered, until the meat is charred on the outside and done to taste inside, 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let the meat rest 5 minutes before thinly slicing. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

Very easy and it turned out wonderfully. Made this as written, using a top loin "London broil" and broiling it in the oven. After tasting the marinade, I was worried that it might be too spicy for some members of the family, but the end result was a big hit.

Made July 10, 2016 with 2 lbs London broil. Marinade was a hybrid of this and the Lee's bourbon one: 1/3 cup soy sauce, 1/2 cup bourbon, 2 Tb honey, 2 Tb EVOO, 6 garlic cloves roughly chopped, and "smoky" seasonings: 1/2 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp Adobe seasoning from Penzeys, pinch of cloves, anise seeds, and cinnamon. Marinated for 8 hours. Grilled as directed. Extremely delicious.

I seared the steak on a hot cast iron pan over a flame, 3 minutes on each side, and it was delicious.

I was really looking forward to making this, not having cooked it in nearly a year and remembering how good it was. But while I was looking up the recipe my dog counter-surfed the flank steak and snarfed it down in about 2 minutes.

I used a 1.5 lb Waygu beef London broil. Marinated for about 2 hours in the refrigerator. Grilled on gas grill. It was delicious, with a perfect crisp, charred crust, medium rare throughout and very tender. The marinade gave it a great flavor without being overly spicy.

This was ok and not as amazing as I expected based off the reviews. Would not make again.
Susan
I had very tender beef, but I did use prime London Broil, broiling it 3 minutes per side and letting sit 5 (out of oven) minutes. Great flavor!
DB Boston
Best steak I have made in a long while. Beats sous vide by a mile. Great crust with tasty charred fat.
Helen Ullric
The chipotle garlic marinade was so delicious that I heated it and made it a dipping sauce. Too good to waste!
DrPat
Very good!

Marinated overnight. Cooked to 130 degrees on charcoal grill. Perfect!

After tasting the marinade, I thought - no possible way will this be edible. The only thing that kept us from dumping the batch and starting over - it is a recipie by Melissa Clark. She has been right sooo many times, we proceeded. Melissa, thank you for teaching us so much about cooking! This is a knock-out recipie - now on our list for Christmas entertaining.

Made this last night as written using top round. Meat sat in the marinade for an hour before grilling. Frankly amazed how relatively short time in the marinade added such flavor. A little squeeze of lime off the grill really made it sing. Planning on trying this with a pork loin very soon…,

I made Rick Martinez' recipe for Tajin grilled chicken recently. My family loved it. Saw this recipe yesterday and decided to try it. Immediately thought I should add a couple tablespoons of Tajin to it. Then wondered about adding a little orange or lime juice and zest. When I realized I was turning the marinade into the Tajin grilled chicken marinade, I decided to just use that recipe for my flank steak. If you like this recipe, I'm sure you'll like that one too!

We loved it. Made it using a flat iron steak. Yum. Wish more of the chili taste came through somehow.
