This Grilled Flank Steak with Chipotle Honey Sauce is a Mexican-style flank steak featuring lime, cilantro and chipotle chile peppers. I like to serve these juicy slices of flank steak on homemade corn tortillas with grilled vegetables and slices of avocado. You could just as easily serve it with Mexican rice and corn on the cob. Be generous with the Chipotle Honey Sauce and you will have a delicious meal.
Flank steak is ideal for marinating and grilling. It always seems to be a large piece of meat when I buy it so I cut it in half for two meals. I marinate one piece for dinner and the other half goes into a marinating container or plastic freezer bag. I pour the marinade on the meat and it marinates as it freezes then again as it thaws.
The Chipotle Honey Sauce recipe makes a generous portion so expect to have some leftover. I put the sauce right into a Mason jar with a plastic lid and label it. The sauce will last in the fridge for several weeks. When I serve this meal the second time it is pretty quick and easy since the steak is already marinated and the sauce is ready to go.

Since chipotle mayo has made its’ way onto the fast food scene you must be familiar with chipotle chiles. These smoked and dried jalapeno chiles come in a vinegar-based adobo sauce and they add their distinct flavour and some heat to many Mexican and Southwestern dishes. You can use them in all kinds of recipes but you really should try the mayo, at least once.
Chipotle chiles in adobo sauce are not always gluten free so be sure to read the label. I buy mine in a small tin and I find them in large grocery stores, specialty food shops and even in my Italian market. Where I live I can easily find La Costeña brand chipotle chiles which are gluten free. You can also find them online and once you start using chipotles you’ll be hooked.
Do you love these little chipotle chiles as much as I do? In the comments below tell me how you like to use them or if you’ve just tried them for the first time.
