Instructions
- Combine olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, minced garlic, cumin, and chili powder in a small bowl.
- Add steak to the bowl or to a baking dish (with marinade poured over) making sure meat is coated and marinate for 2-3 hours.
To Cook the Meat
- Heat grill to medium-high heat and cook meat for 5-7 minutes on each side. Let meat rest on the cutting board for 5 minutes before cutting against the grain.
Notes
- TIPS
- Make ahead. Mix up the marinade several days in advance and keep it in an airtight container in the fridge until you add the meat.
- Freeze marinated meat ahead of time. Place the meat and marinade in a freezer Ziploc. Store it in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and cook within 24 hours.
- Don't marinate at room temperature. Always place the marinating meat in the fridge.
- For the best flavor marinate for 3 hours, but it can be marinated for 1-8 hours.
- Do not marinate in metal containers as the acids, especially from the citrus juices, react to it and can cause an odd flavor.
- Never reuse marinade. Once it comes in contact with raw meat, it must be discarded after use.
