Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, combine the minced garlic, lime juice, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Steak

    Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, making sure it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for best flavor.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Chorizo

    Remove the chorizo sausage from its casing and crumble it into small pieces.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Chorizo

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the crumbled chorizo. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until fully cooked and browned. Remove from heat and set aside.

  2. 5

    Grill the Steak

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the flank steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill the steak for about 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

  3. 6

    Rest and Slice

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

Serving

  1. 7

    Assemble the Dish

    On a serving platter, layer the sliced flank steak and cooked chorizo. Top with chopped cilantro, diced onions, and sliced radishes. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
