Ingredients

• 4 pieces Top sirloin or flank steaks (thinly sliced)
• 6 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 0.5 cup Fresh lime juice
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large White onion (thinly sliced)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
• 0 Rice or fried plantains (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, fresh lime juice, olive oil, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.

Step 2

Place the thinly sliced steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably 2-4 hours for more intense flavor.

Step 3

Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil if needed.

Step 5

Working in batches if necessary, cook the steaks for 2-3 minutes per side or until they develop a golden-brown crust and reach your desired doneness. Remove the steaks from the pan and set them aside on a plate to rest.

Step 6

In the same pan, add the thinly sliced onion and a pinch of salt. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the onions are softened and slightly caramelized.

Step 7

Serve the steaks topped with the sautéed onions and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Pair with white rice or fried plantains if desired.
