Grilled Flank Steak on Santa Maria Style Grill
Flank Steak Tacos Grilled on a Santa Maria attachment for the Weber Kettle Grill
#flanksteak #tacos #howtobbqright
WHAT MALCOM USED IN THIS RECIPE:
- Weber Kettle Grill -
- BBQ Gloves -
The Santa Maria attachment came from Gabbysgrills.com. It fits a 22” Weber for Santa Maria style cooking.
First the flank steak goes into a marinade for a couple hours. Then I start a couple chimneys of Lump charcoal and add them to the Weber once hot. Place the Santa Maria attachment on the grill and spray the cooking grate with vegetable spray.
Give it a few minutes to get hot and adjust the cooking grate several inches above the hot coals. Place veggies right on the grate and grill for 5-10 minutes turning often. Cool and roughly chop. Place the tomatoes, onion, peppers, and cloves of garlic in a food processor.
Squeeze the lime halves and season with ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until everything is combined and pour into bowl. Refrigerate the salsa for at least an hour.
Lower the Santa Maria right over the coals and sear the steaks for 1 ½ - 2 minutes on each side. Raise the grate several inches and continue to cook away from direct heat until it reaches medium rare about 125-130⁰ (or your desired doneness).
Remove each steak from the grill and place on a cutting board covered loosely with aluminum foil. While the steaks rest warm flour or corn tortillas on the grill. It only takes about 30 seconds on each side.
To serve these tacos; slice the flank steaks across the grain into thin strips. You can dress them with your favorite toppings.
If you don’t have a Santa Maria Grill this attachment is a good option for the Weber. Also you can create this recipe on any grill just set it up for a 2 zone fire.

Flank Steak 101 | Chef Eric Recipe
Learn how to master Flank Steak with Chef Eric with his Flank Steak 101 how-to recipe!
This is my go-to method for cooking semi thinner steaks such as flank, skirt or smaller bavette. Pay close attention to the “scruffing” method, the seasoning layering system, and the board sauce technique, they will enhance you steak game. Please Enjoy! - Chef Eric Gephart
Flank Steak 101
Ingredients:
1 Each Flank Steak
1 Tablespoon Cattleman’s Californian Tri-Tip Rub
1 Tablespoon Lanes BBQ Sweet Heat
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
Method:
1. Stabilize your grill at 550 - 600F. Install a searing surface on the lowest setting of the divide and conquer system.
2. As the grill is coming to temperature, lightly draw the edge of a knife across each side of the flank steak creating 1/8th of an inch deep slices in a diamond pattern over the entire surface. This is a method called “scruffing” and increases surface area, as well as caramelization and flavor.
3. Next, season the steak with the salty Cattleman’s California Tri-Tip Rub then follow with the Sweet Heat Rub. This layering system of salty then semi sweet will increase the overall eating experience. Slightly oil the steak and place it on the grill.
4. Cook each side for around 3 minutes depending on the thickness of your flank then turn. Once flipped, dry baste or season again with the sweet heat and drop the dome to lock in the smoke from the caramelized drippings. Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes.
5. Flip the steak as much as you like at this point to get even caramelization and reach an internal temperature of 130F.
6. Remove from the grill, let the steak rest for 7 minutes. Slice once down the center with the grain and then slice the steak again into slices across the grain. Toss the sliced steak in the “Board Sauce” aka the minimal juices mixed with seasoning left on the board. Enjoy!
Chimichurri Butter
Ingredients:
3 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Softened
1 Tablespoon Red Wine Vinegar
1 Teaspoon Oregano
1 Cup Parsley
1/2 Cup Cilantro
1/4 Teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper
Cloves Garlic
1 Tablespoon Saica Sicilian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Method:
1. Combine all in a food processor and pulse until fully incorporated.
2. Using a rubber spatula, transfer the mixture to the center of a piece of wax paper. Roll the paper into a cylinder around the room temperature butter mixture and twist the ends in opposite directions giving shape to the compound butter. Refrigerate until set, roughly 1 hour. Then slice into ¼ inch thick rounds.

Marinated and Grilled Flank Steak
Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Marinating Time: 2-24 hrs
Total Time: 20 mins
Servings: 4 people
Author: Susie Bulloch (heygrillhey.com)
Ingredients
1 1.5-2 pound flank steak
Rosemary Balsamic Marinade
1/2 cup olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons Kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
5 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2-3 sprigs fresh rosemary
Instructions
In a gallon zip top bag, combine all of the ingredients for the rosemary balsamic marinade. Zip the top, then toss gently until all of the salt and sugar granules are dissolved.
Place the flank steak in the marinade, press out any excess air from the bag, and seal tightly. Using your hands, massage the marinade around the meat. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours.
Preheat your grill for direct heat grilling at 450 degrees F. Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side, or until an internal thermometer reads 130-135 degrees F for medium rare. Remove the steak from the grill to a cutting board and allow to rest for 10-15 minutes.
Slice the steak into thin strips against the grain (perpendicular to the long strands of muscle) and enjoy!
