Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, finely chopped
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, and lime juice. Whisk well to create the base for the marinade.
Add the minced garlic, brown sugar, ground cumin, smoked paprika, red chili flakes, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir the mixture until the brown sugar dissolves and the spices are evenly distributed.
Fold in the chopped fresh cilantro and mix everything thoroughly.
Place your steak cuts into a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring all surfaces are coated.
Seal the dish or bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor infusion.
When ready to cook, remove the steak from the marinade and let it come to room temperature for 20-30 minutes before grilling, pan-searing, or broiling as desired.
Discard any remaining marinade. Cook the steak to your preferred doneness and serve hot.
