Method

Marinating the Steak

Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well mixed.

Marinate the Steak

Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it's fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Cooking the Steak

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Grill the Steak

Remove the steak from the marinade and let it come to room temperature for about 15 minutes. Place the steak on the hot grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

Rest the Steak

Once cooked, transfer the steak to a cutting board and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Preparing the Side Dishes

Heat the Refried Beans

In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the refried beans until heated through, stirring occasionally.

Cook the Mexican Rice

Prepare the Mexican rice according to package instructions, and keep warm until ready to serve.

Serving
