Pepper Crusted Flank Steak

If you've ever had Steak au Poivre, this is going to look pretty similar, except it's grilled and there is no pan sauce.

Ingredients

• ¼ cup peppercorns, cracked
• Salt
• ¾ tsp cayenne pepper
• 1½ tbsp smoked paprika
• 1 ea. (1 pound) flank steak
• Dijon mustard

Steps

1. Combine the peppercorns, salt, cayenne, and paprika. Set aside.
2. Brush steak with mustard. Apply seasoning mixture and gently massage into meat.
3. Grill over high heat until marked on both sides. Lower heat to medium and cook, turning often, until internal temperature reaches 140 °F for medium rare.
4. Remove and let rest, uncovered, for 7 minutes.
5. Slice as thinly as humanly possible across the grain and serve warm.
