Ingredients

1 large piece of flank steak

1/3 cup fresh lime juice

1/4 cup olive oil

1 tsp. ground cumin

1 tsp. dried oregano

1 tsp. onion powder

1 tsp. garlic powder

1 T soy sauce

1/2 tsp. ground chipotle chile powder

2 tsp. lime zest

Directions

Combine marinade ingredients. Put flank steak into a ziploc bag and pour marinade in, seal bag, and marinate all day in refrigerator. Take meat out of refrigerator and let it come to room temperature before grilling. Oil the grill with a paper towel dipped in olive oil, then preheat gas or charcoal barbecue grill to medium-high Grill meat to desired doneness, approximately 4-5 minutes per side for rare to medium rare or 6 minutes for medium. I wouldn’t cook flank steak more than medium or it will be tough. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your flank steak, the best way to judge the doneness is to use an Instant Read Meat Thermometer , cooking to 140-145 for medium rare or 155-160 for medium. Slice across the grain and serve hot, with slices of fresh lime to squeeze on the meat.
