The flank is not the tenderest cut of beef, but it may be the most flavorful. To make it more tender, use this chipotle-honey sauce to marinate it and slice it against the grain very thinly.

Steps
1 Done | Place the steak in a large dish or baking pan. |
2 Done | Mix all the marinade ingredients together. Pour the marinade over the steak. |
3 Done | Cover the steak and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours, turning occasionally. |
4 Done | Make the sauce: Combine the honey, peanut oil, chipotles, vinegar, mustard, lime juice, garlic, and cumin, and purée in a blender or food processor. |
5 Done | Stir in the chopped cilantro and add the salt and pepper to taste. |
6 Done | Salt and pepper the steak to taste. |
7 Done | Over very high heat, grill the steak for 5 to 7 minutes on each side (for medium rare). |
8 Done | Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 3 to 5 minutes so the juices that were drawn to the center by cooking redistribute for even color. |
9 Done | Then, using a very sharp knife, slice the steak as thin as you can, against the grain and on a very sharp angle. |
10 Done | Serve the steak, which should be very juicy, either plain or on top of sliced French bread , and accompany each serving with the sauce. |
