Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, chopped cilantro, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Steak

    Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450°F to 500°F).

  2. 4

    Grill the Steak

    Remove the steak from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip off. Place the steak on the hot grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness.

  3. 5

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Serving

  1. 6

    Slice and Garnish

    Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Serve with lime wedges and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top.
