Bistec Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Steak

    Place the beef sirloin steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it's well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

  3. 3

    Cook the Steak

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Grill or sear the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is achieved.

  4. 4

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice against the grain, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve.
