Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ pounds flank steak
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice about 2 limes
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
  • Lime wedges for serving

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
  2. Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for more flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  4. Grill the flank steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
  5. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
  6. Serve garnished with fresh cilantro and lime wedges on the side.
