Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds flank steak
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon cracked black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the flank steak on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to lightly score the surface of the steak in a crisscross pattern. This allows the marinade to penetrate better.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt.

Step 3

Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 4

Preheat your oven’s broiler. Place an oven rack about 6 inches below the broiler element.

Step 5

Remove the steak from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place it on a broiler pan or baking sheet lined with foil.

Step 6

Broil the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for a temperature of 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, or 150°F for medium-well.

Step 7

Remove the steak from the broiler and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Slice the steak thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve immediately.
