Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Flank steak
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, cumin, paprika, dried oregano, and red wine vinegar to create the marinade.
Place the flank steak in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring that it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Grill the steak for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the desired doneness is reached. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C).
Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the steak thinly against the grain and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
