1
Prepare the Marinade
In a mixing bowl, combine the lime juice, minced garlic, olive oil, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
2
Marinate the Flank Steak
Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for deeper flavor.

3
Prepare the Onions
Slice the onions into thin rings. Set aside.
4
Cook the Steak
Heat a large skillet or grill over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Remove the steak from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Cook the steak for about 5-7 minutes on one side until browned.
5
Flip and Add Onions
Flip the steak over and add the sliced onions to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the steak reaches medium well (an internal temperature of about 150°F or 65°C).
6
Rest and Slice
Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes. After resting, slice it against the grain into thin strips.
