Marinade

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine the fresh lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Steak

    Place the boneless beef flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).

  2. 4

    Grill the Steak

    Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Place the steak on the preheated grill. Grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.

  3. 5

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Serving

  1. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with your choice of sides, such as tortillas, salsa, and guacamole.
