Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Flank steak
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, lime juice, honey, minced garlic (finely chop garlic cloves), ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Place the flank steak in a 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, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the steak from the marinade and allow any excess marinade to drip off. Pat the steak dry with paper towels for a better sear.
Place the flank steak on the preheated grill and cook for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium.
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness, and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, a salad, or warm tortillas for a complete meal.
