Method
Steak Preparation
- 1
Marinate the Steak
In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade. Rub the mixture all over the flank steak. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Cook the Steak
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and place it on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Slice the Steak
