Marinade

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, cumin, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Steak

    Place the steak in a large 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 up to 24 hours for more flavor.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400-450°F / 200-230°C).

  2. 4

    Remove Steak from Marinade

    Take the marinated steak out of the refrigerator and remove it from the marinade. Let it sit at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes before grilling.

  3. 5

    Grill the Steak

    Place the steak on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (130-135°F / 54-57°C for medium-rare).

  4. 6

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the steak from the grill and allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.
