Preparation

Marinate the Steak
In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Place the flank steak in the marinade, ensuring it is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

Cook the Steak
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and sear it in the skillet for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Once cooked, remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Cook the Onions
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the sliced onions. Sauté the onions for about 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and translucent. Pour the reserved marinade over the onions and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.

Combine and Serve
Slice the rested steak against the grain and place it on a serving platter. Top the steak with the sautéed onions and marinade. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
