Method

For the Chile-Cacao Marinated Wagyu Flank Steak Mole

Prepare the Marinade

In a blender, combine the ancho chilies (stemmed and seeded), cacao nibs, garlic cloves, olive oil, red wine vinegar, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.

Marinate the Steak

Place the Wagyu flank steak in a large resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Cook the Steak

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Grill or sear the steak for about 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
