Meat

Marinade

Optional Toppings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

  2. 2

    Add the Flank Steak

    Place the flank steak into the marinade, ensuring it is fully covered. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight for maximum flavor.

Cooking

  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 flank steak from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached.

  3. 5

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Serving

  1. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Serve with your choice of optional toppings such as chopped onions, sliced jalapeños, guacamole, sour cream, and salsa.
