  • 1 (2-4 lb.) flank steak
  • 1 TB. olive oil
  • 1 TB. brown sugar
  • 1 TB. paprika
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. ground allspice
  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg

1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees.

2. Place the flank steak on a broiler pan, or foil lined pan with a rack on top. Rub it down with olive oil, or marinate for 3 - 24 hours in advance. Season as desired. 

3. Broil for 4 - 6 minutes, then flip and repeat.

4. Remove from oven and let rest 5 to 10 minutes before slicing (against the grain*) and serving.

* most steaks are longer than they are wide, so against the grain normally means that you should slice across the narrow end of the steak.
