This dish uses a whole flank steak—a cut from the belly—that's rubbed with a mixture of chili powder and sugar to create a light, savory caramel crust. To ensure this relatively lean steak is tender and juicy, cook it to medium-rare. Serve with creamy corn, simmered with onions and bell peppers in evaporated milk. The whole dish comes together quickly and is packed with rich, balanced flavors, from the spiciness of the chili to the smooth, creamy sauce. Garnish with fresh green onions and enjoy.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat the oven to broil. In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, sugar, and 1 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper. Brush the entire surface of the steak with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then rub both sides with the spice mixture. Transfer to a baking sheet and let the meat rest for 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring, until the onion is translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the frozen corn and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the unsweetened condensed milk. Cook until the mixture is thick and creamy, about 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. Grill the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5-10 minutes, then slice against the grain. Serve with creamed corn, sprinkled with green onions, and garnished with lime wedges.
