1
Marinate the Steak
In a large bowl, combine lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade. Add the flank steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
2
Grill the Steak
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Grill the steak for about 6-8 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.
3
Rest and Slice
Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
4
Serve
Garnish the sliced carne asada with fresh chopped cilantro. Serve with warm tortillas, salsa, and your choice of toppings.
