1
Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, mix together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
2
Marinate the 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 2 hours, preferably overnight.
3
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4
Grill the Steak
Remove the steak from the marinade and let it come to room temperature. Grill the steak for about 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
5
Rest and Slice
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Slice against the grain into thin strips.
6
Serve
Serve the carne asada with tortillas, avocado, salsa, and your favorite toppings.
