Method
Preparation of the Flank Steak
- 1
Marinate the Steak
In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well. Place the flank steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the steak is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

Cook the Steak
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Grill the steak for about 6-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
