Ingredients

• 2 pounds Steak (ribeye, flank, or skirt)
• 1 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
• 0.5 cup Fresh parsley leaves
• 1 large Green bell pepper
• 1 medium Tomato
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 0.5 large Red onion
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon White vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Place the cilantro, parsley, green bell pepper, tomato, garlic, red onion, olive oil, lime juice, white vinegar, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in a blender or food processor.

Step 2

Blend until the mixture is smooth and forms a vibrant green sofrito. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 3

Pat the steak dry with paper towels and place it in a large, resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.

Step 4

Pour the sofrito marinade over the steak. Ensure the steak is fully coated by massaging the marinade into the meat or turning it several times.

Step 5

Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight for the best flavor.

Step 6

Remove the steak from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature.

Step 7

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat on the stovetop.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Grill or sear the steak for about 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your desired level of doneness.

Step 10

Let the steak rest for 5 minutes after cooking. Slice against the grain for maximum tenderness and serve immediately.
