Amp-up a simple flank steak with a homemade rub that leans on the heat of ancho chile powder, the sweetness of cinnamon, the earthy notes of cumin and paprika. After a quick sear of the meat, this meal is ready in just 35 minutes, great for a busy weeknight. Sub in your favorite vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts or cauliflower, which all emerge tastier from a really hot oven.
