Ingredients
1 pound beef flank steak
2 tablespoons cracked black pepper
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons sea salt or kosher salt
2 teaspoons sugar
Yogurt-Lime Sauce
Directions
1. Preheat broiler. Score both sides of steak in a diamond pattern by making shallow diagonal cuts at 1-inch intervals.
2. In a small bowl, combine black pepper, garlic powder, sea salt, and sugar. Sprinkle evenly over both sides of steak; rub in as much as you can with your fingers. Let stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Rub in the remaining mixture.
3. Meanwhile, make Yogurt-Lime Sauce; cover and chill until serving time.
4. Place steak on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Broil 3 to 4 inches from the heat for 15 to 18 minutes or until medium doneness (160 degree F.), turning once. Remove from heat; let stand for 10 minutes.
5. Slice steak thinly across the grain. Serve with Yogurt-Lime Sauce. Makes 4 servings.
