1
Prepare the Chiles
Remove the stems and seeds from the dried red chiles. Place them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, until fragrant. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.
2
Blend the Marinade
In a blender, combine the toasted chiles, garlic cloves, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add 1/2 cup of water and blend until smooth. This will be your marinade.
3
Marinate the Steak
Place the flank steak in a large bowl or zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
4
Cook the Steak
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, shaking off excess. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes.
5
Slice and Serve
Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Serve in warm tortillas with diced onion and your choice of toppings.
