Blackened Grilled Flank Steak

D prepped this before we went to work. Took him 5 minutes, tops. Very easy.
Got home and I didn't feel like waiting for the grill so we broiled it.

Very flavorful, on the spicy side. Tasted good. Had with basmati and Garlicky Spinach (Butter, spinach, garlic, red pepper flakes and lemon juice).

I liked the Ancho Steak better, but D liked this one, so both stay on the list.
