Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

2

Marinate the Steak

Place the beef steak in the marinade, ensuring it is fully coated. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

3

Cook the Onions

Slice the onions into thin rings. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until they become translucent and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

4

Cook the Steak

Remove the steak from the marinade and place it in the skillet with the onions. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare or until desired doneness.

5

Serve

Once cooked, remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice against the grain and serve with the sautéed onions on top. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
