Ingredients

• 1 pound Flank steak
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper to create the spice rub.

Step 2

Pat the flank steak dry with paper towels and place it on a cutting board. Rub both sides of the steak evenly with olive oil.

Step 3

Sprinkle the spice mix generously over both sides of the steak, pressing it into the meat to help it adhere.

Step 4

Allow the steak to marinate at room temperature for 20-30 minutes, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours for extra flavor. If refrigerating, let it come to room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking.

Step 5

Preheat a large skillet, grill pan, or outdoor grill over high heat until it is very hot. Lightly oil the grates or pan to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Place the seasoned flank steak on the hot surface and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust time depending on your preferred doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.

Step 7

Once cooked to your desired doneness, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to retain its juices.

Step 8

Slice the steak thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness.

Step 9

Drizzle fresh lime juice over the sliced steak. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve immediately.
