Ingredients

• 2 pounds flank steak
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra spice)

Directions

1. In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
2. Place the flank steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, making sure it is evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
4. Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
5. Place the steak on the grill and cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. For a medium-rare steak, aim for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C).
6. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
7. Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
8. Serve the grilled Mexican steak with warm tortillas, salsa, guacamole, and your favorite toppings.
9. Enjoy the spicy and flavorful grilled Mexican steak!
