Lime juice tenderizes the steak while garlic, chili powder and red pepper flakes kick things up. My husband and I came up with this together as something lighter to make on the grill. -Caroline Shively, Alexandria, Virginia

A wonderful flank steak on the grill recipe I invented that friends just love! My girls think this is great, and it doesn't take long to grill. This also works great when sliced and used for fajitas.

SOUTHWESTERN FLANK STEAK



Southwestern Flank Steak image

This flank steak is butterflied, and then rolled into a pinwheel shape, filled with spinach and roasted red peppers. If you ask your butcher to butterfly the flank steak, it will save you time and effort....most grocery stores offer this service at no charge. If you have to do it yourself, use a sharp knife to cut the steak in half, cutting almost to, but not completely through the opposite side to form a butterfly shape. Prep and cook time does not include the 8 hour marinating time.
