Super simple and yummy! I was surprised how good it tastes dipped in ranch. I made a few small changes: first, I added a bit of corn oil to the seasoning so the rub would coat and stick to the meat while marinating. Second, I kept the meat whole while charbroiling and sliced it afterwards.

It was ok. Flavors were there but the dry rub provided a texture that we didn’t love.
Linda Glover
I followed the recipe and enjoyed the spicy taste. I dipped pieces in the ranch dressing for additional flavor.

This recipe was excellent. I had my husband cook it on the grill and it was sooooo tender! Thanks for sharing.
Carrie Benson

Tracy Turner
Awesome! Super easy and flavorful. Quick and very easy. Even the kids ate it. Make this again!
Lindsey Harrison
I like this recipe because I dont always have time to worry about marinating. Next time I will add some olive oil to the spices. I cooked the steak in the broiler on med & only cut it into three peices, so it wasnt to dry. It was good.
Todd Valdez
I love this!!! I do add oil to the season mix but other than that it was great!!!
James Brewer
This was absolutly delicous! Although, I agree with many others that they could be a bit more spicy. I added a little crushed red pepper flakes but didnt want to go overboard before trying them with a little, but next time I will add more. Also, I added just a couple table spoons of oil to the bag with the steaks at the beginning before putting the seasoning in and I think that helped to hold the spices better and make them a bit more moist when broiling. all in all this was an awesome recipe and I will deffinatly be using it again!

There is a lot of seasoning. Next time I try I think I will put the seasoning on like a rub.
Andrew Jackson
Tasty, quick and reasonable number of ingredients. I toasted the spices first since I used whole coriander and cumin, then ground them with my pestle. Not too spicy, but good flavor.

Excellent recipe for fast, easy school night fare. I too wanted more zip so I added cardamom and onion powder. Do not cut the meat and it stays far juicier. I bet this would go great with some yellow curry too. I also advise grinding your own whole cumin seeds (I use a magic bullet) as they have a better flavor. Overall this is a recipe we keep using because my kids love it.

Absolutely delicious! I usually don’t like steak, but this was amazing!
Crystal Williams
This was fast, simple and tasty. I put the steak over a bed of lettuce, added some french fries, cheddar cheese and ranch dressing. It was a great dinner salad!
Charles Ellison
When my kids like it, it gets a high rating. Not too spicy, and the portions, when cut into strips, is perfect for nibbling.

I coated the flank steak lighty with olive oil. I used garlic powder and Julio’s Seasoning instead of salt. It needed salt. I like that this dry marinade is ready in 20 minutes. Most flank steak recipes using marinade require 8 hrs. or more. I will make this again.a

great mix of spices. i couldn’t find flank steak, so we used loin bottom…still great. i added a touch of rice wine vinegar to marinate better. i also doubled the spices because we love it spicy. and since our broiler has a mind of it’s own, we sauteed in the skillet. the mix of spices is great. we’ll definately use this again.

I cheated and used this recipe with a spicy Mccormick steak rub instead of the coriander and cumin and paprika. It was super easy and super spicy and super delicious.
Austin Spencer
This is a fast made meal, and everytime I’ve made it I get tons of praise! Yes, I have made it a few times… 😉 thank you!
Karen Smith
this might be the worst thing i have ever eaten. i am not sure what went wrong but i followed the recipe exactly. the meat was so dry and the flavor so overpowering that i threw it out.
Gina Rojas
For me it was too sweet. I added some red pepper but not enough, apparently. Couldn’t counter the coriander. I saw several reviews suggest a liquid to help keep it moist – so I added 1/4 C of soy sauce which was good. 5 minutes was perfect for the grill. If I make this again I will change the spices to more of a “spicy” than this.
