Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Flank Steak

    Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

  3. 3

    Cook the Steak

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Grill or sear the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Rest and Slice

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

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the Palomilla Steak with sliced onions on top and your choice of sides.
