Marinate the Steak

Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Marinate the Flank Steak
Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Make sure the steak is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Cook the Steak
Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill or cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy (130-135°F for medium-rare).

Rest the Steak
Once cooked, remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing it against the grain into thin strips.
