Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds flank steak
- 1 cup olive oil
- 0.25 cup lime juice
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the flank steak dry with paper towels and set it aside while preparing the marinade.
In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.
Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Marinate the steak in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to infuse.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C). Brush the grates with oil to prevent sticking.
Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the steak on the preheated grill. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the time based on your desired doneness (use a meat thermometer for precision: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).
Once cooked, transfer the steak to a cutting board. Tent it with aluminum foil and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the steak thinly across the grain and serve on a platter, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
Enjoy your Brazilian Grilled Flank Steak with sides like rice, beans, or a crisp salad for a complete meal.
