Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Season the flank steak with salt, black pepper, lime juice, and soy sauce. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steak

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated steak and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness. Remove from skillet and let it rest.

  3. 3

    Sauté Onions

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add sliced onions and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine

    Slice the rested steak against the grain and return it to the skillet with the onions. Stir to combine and heat through for another 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot with rice or tortillas.
