Did this last weekend with some homemade chili powder...that I used as a rub....pounded them out and marinated in some lime juice before throwing them on the grill...they were really good...GF says best ever.

Best fajita steak. I marinate with some habeneros and throw on the grill for about 4 minutes. Wrap in foil to finish off and make even more tender. slice across the bias.

cooked long and slow in gravy, served over rice or mashed taters.

Cast iron skillet, two minutes on each side, on medium-medium high, will get you a decent sear and medium rare.

update....steaks turned out very good....I followed this methodology combined with hints from the posts of others.....next time, I will lighten up on the lime a little and possibly mix in a little olive oil....also may try them in the cast iron skillet, as I would like a little crustiness without overcooking....
one question....what ingredients would you recommend to use as homemade chili powder?...I used store-bought, but I think I could do a lot better....

McCormick's Chipotle Pepper marinate packet available in every grocery store. You mix it with olive oil, vinegar and water and marinate for a half hour (no benefit to doing it longer on a skirt/hanger/flat iron steak). Taste great when you making a fajita meal. I just squeeze fresh lime on the steak before serving. A little lime goes a long way.
