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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 5

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).

Step 6

Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 7

Slice the steak thinly against the grain and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for garnish.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
