Bistec Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, combine minced garlic, olive oil, lime juice, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade. Add the beef steak and coat it thoroughly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat a grill or heavy skillet over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Cook the Steak

    Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Grill or pan-sear the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time based on your preferred doneness.

  4. 4

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill or pan and let it rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Slice the steak against the grain, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve with your favorite sides.
