Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean beef steak (such as sirloin or tenderloin)
- 1 tablespoon Ancho chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
Start by trimming any visible fat from the beef steak to keep the dish low-fat.
In a small bowl, combine the ancho chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Rub this spice mixture evenly over both sides of the steak. Ensure that the steak is well covered for the best flavor.
Drizzle the olive oil over the steak and gently rub it in to help the spices adhere and to add a touch of moisture.
Preheat a grill or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once heated, place the steak on the grill or skillet.
Cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time according to your desired level of doneness.
Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the grill or skillet. Let it rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
After resting, squeeze fresh lime juice over the steak to enhance its flavor.
Slice the steak against the grain for added tenderness and serve with freshly chopped cilantro sprinkled on top.
