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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 7

Slice the steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness, and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, a salad, or warm tortillas for a complete meal.
