Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, lime juice, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Place the flank skirt steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the steak. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Grill the Steak

    Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the steak on the hot grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached.

  4. 4

    Rest and Slice

    Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately with your choice of sides.
