Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon oil extra virgin olive, vegetable, avocado oil, all good choices
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon coriander
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1-2 lb flank steak *For flank steaks close to 2lbs or more, double marinade

Instructions

  • Juice the lime into a small bowl. Add oil and spices and stir to combine.
  • Place the steak in a shallow dish, a 9x13 baking pan usually works well, and pour the spice mixture on top. Use clean hands to massage on all sides (I love food safe gloves for this task!) Let sit for a minimum of 15 minutes and up to several hours if you like.
  • Place meat on hot grill (bbq is best, but an indoor grill pan or broiler will work just fine too).Flank steak it should take about 5-7 minutes on each side. I personally like my flank steak removed from heat at about 135 degrees. It provides medium-rare steak in the center, with options of more well-done pieces on the ends.
  • When steak is finished, remove from grill, cover with foil,  and let sit for 5 minutes before cutting into it. Slice in strips against the grain.
