Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds flank steak
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, lime juice, olive oil, soy sauce, honey, paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
  2. Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or a ziplock bag, and pour the marinade over it. Make sure the steak is well coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours, or overnight for best results.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard any excess marinade.
  4. Place the steak on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the desired level of doneness is reached. For medium-rare, the internal temperature should be around 135°F (57°C).
  5. Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
  6. Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro for garnish.
  7. Serve hot and enjoy!
