Preparation
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper until well combined. Place the flank steak into a resealable bag or shallow dish, pouring the marinade over the meat. Ensure it’s fully coated, then let it marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Char the poblano peppers on a grill or over an open flame until the skin is blistered and blackened, about 5-7 minutes. Cool slightly before chopping, then combine in a bowl with diced cherry tomatoes, finely diced red onion, minced jalapeño, chopped cilantro, additional lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until serving.
- Preheat your grill to high heat, around 450°F to 500°F, ensuring the grates are well-oiled to prevent sticking.
- Place the marinated flank steak directly onto the hot grill. Grill for 4-6 minutes per side until reaching an internal temperature of 130-135°F for medium-rare.
- Carefully remove the flank steak from the grill and transfer it to a cutting board. Loosely cover with aluminum foil and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Slice the rested flank steak thinly against the grain and serve on a platter alongside the charred poblano pico de gallo.

Notes
Allow grilled flank steak to rest for no more than 2 hours at room temperature. Store leftover steak and pico de gallo separately in airtight containers for maximum freshness.
