Volcanic Legend Grilled Flank Steak

Ohana Volcanic Legend Grilled Flank Steak

Serves: 4
Prep: 10–15 minutes (plus optional marinating)
Cook: 8–12 minutes
Rest: 5–10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1½–2 lbs flank steak
  • 2–3 Tbsp Ohana Volcanic Legend Spice Blend (start with 2 Tbsp—it’s spicy)
  • 1–2 Tbsp oil (avocado, olive, or neutral)
  • Optional: 1–2 tsp brown sugar or honey for a touch of caramelization and to balance the heat
  • Optional: juice of ½ lime or a splash of soy sauce for brightness
  • Kosher salt if needed (the blend has some salt, but taste and adjust lightly)

For serving

  • Fresh cilantro or green onions
  • Lime wedges
  • Optional sides: grilled onions/peppers, rice, roasted potatoes (especially good with the Tradition blend you used earlier), or a simple salad

Method

  1. Prep the steak: Pat the flank steak very dry with paper towels. This helps the spice stick and promotes a good sear/crust.
  2. Season: Rub the steak all over with the oil, then generously coat both sides with the Ohana Volcanic Legend Spice. Press it in so it adheres well. If using the optional sugar/honey or lime, mix it into the spice or drizzle lightly on top. Let it sit at room temperature for 15–30 minutes (or refrigerate up to a few hours for deeper flavor—bring back to room temp before grilling).
  3. Grill: Preheat your grill (or a heavy grill pan/cast-iron skillet) to high heat. Oil the grates well. Grill the flank steak 4–6 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temperature around 130–135°F), depending on thickness. For medium, go a bit longer. You want a nice charred crust from the spicy rub without overcooking the interior.
  4. Rest and slice: Transfer the steak to a cutting board, tent loosely with foil, and rest 5–10 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain (this is key for tenderness with flank steak).
  5. Finish: Sprinkle with a little extra Volcanic Legend if desired, squeeze of lime, and chopped cilantro or green onions. Serve immediately.

Tips

  • Flank steak is lean and benefits from high heat and a short cook time—don’t go past medium or it can get tough.
  • The Volcanic Legend delivers noticeable heat, so start moderate if you’re sensitive to spice. You can always add more at the table.
  • Great leftovers: slice and use in tacos, salads, or rice bowls the next day.
  • Pairing idea: Serve alongside the Ohana Tradition roasted baby potatoes or a simple cucumber-onion salad to cool the heat.

This gives you a bold, smoky-spicy grilled flank steak with a solid crust from the Volcanic Legend rub. Enjoy!
