Marinade

Beef

Garnish (optional)

Method

Marinating the Steak

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, fresh lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground cumin, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Steak

    Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well covered. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Grilling the Steak

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

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

  2. 4

    Grill the Steak

    Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Place the steak on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is achieved.

  3. 5

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Serving the Dish

  1. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Serve with optional garnishes such as chopped onions, cilantro, diced tomatoes, and lime wedges.
