Ingredients

• 1 1/2 - 2 pounds flank steak

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Here's how to make it: 

1. Dry the flank steak with a paper towel. Season on both sides with the salt and Cajun seasoning. Let the steak sit in the fridge for 1 hour. (For a gluten-free dinner, make sure your Cajun seasoning is gluten-free.)
2. When ready to cook, drizzle the steak with the olive oil. Heat the grill to medium-high heat. (If you don't have a grill, you can cook the steak in a cast iron skillet.)
3. Grill the steak for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until it reaches desired doneness. Let the steak rest about 5 minutes before slicing against the grain. Serve. Store any leftover steak in an airtight container in the fridge.
