Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
• 5 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
• 2 teaspoons freshly grated lime zest
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 pound London broil
• 1 English cucumber, thinly sliced

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon oil, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon lime zest, chili powder, red pepper flakes and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper; rub mixture on London broil.

2. Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over high heat. Add steak and cook until medium rare, 5 to 6 minutes a side. Transfer meat to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
