Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 1/2 pounds flank steak (or skirt steak)

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and chopped cilantro.
  2. Place flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (up to overnight).
  3. Preheat your grill to high heat (around 450°F to 500°F or 230°C to 260°C).
  4. Remove steak from marinade and let excess drip off. Place on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare (or until desired doneness).
  5. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
  6. Slice the steak thinly against the grain and serve with your chosen accompaniments.
