Chipotle-Orange Flank Steak

Chipotle-Orange Flank Steak

1 tablespoon adobo sauce (from a can of chipotle in adobo sauce), or to taste

1 chipotle chili pepper (from a can of chipotle in adobo sauce), seeded and minced, or to taste

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice

Zest from 1 orange

1 tablespoon canola oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2- to 2-pound flank steak

In a small bowl, whisk together the adobo, chipotle, brown sugar, orange juice and zest, oil and salt. In a shallow dish just large enough to hold the steak, combine the marinade and the steak, turning the steak once to coat both sides.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 8 hours.

Preheat the grill or broiler. Transfer the steak to the grill or broiler, discarding the marinade, and cook, turning at least once to ensure even browning, until the desired degree of doneness, about 12 minutes for medium-rare, depending on the thickness.

Serves 4.
