Ingredients

  • 2 lbs flank steak
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over the steak. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  5. Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, and 160°F for well-done.
  6. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

It is important to let the steak rest for 5 minutes after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute and make the steak more tender. You can also serve this dish with a side of chimichurri sauce for added flavor.
