Combine allspice, sugar, and salt for a simple rub for flank steak that's both sweet and pungent. The mix of salt and sugar help to tenderize the meat. Once, grilled top it with an equally flavorful zesty salsa If you’re making this recipe for company, you can prepare the salsa and the steak the day before and refrigerate them. Just remember to take both out of the refrigerator about 20 minutes before cooking so they can come to room temperature.
