NOTES
A Flank steak is always going to be tougher and have more “chew” than a ribeye. You should slice this steak as thin as you can, against the grain, to increase the tenderness.
You could easily change this recipe up by swapping the dry rub with a commercial fajita marinade.
Serving the steak with some corn tortillas, sour cream, avocados and other topping would be fantastic!
