Steak Preparation

Marinate the Steak
In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the flank steak and coat well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

Grill the Steak
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Grill the steak for about 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
