Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the flank steak on a large sheet pan. Using a fork, pierce the flank steak all over to allow the marinade to seep into the steak. Turn over and repeat.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together oil, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper and sugar. Drizzle all over the steak and using your hands, press into the steak. Let marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  3. Set grill to medium-high heat. Carefully brush the grill with oil to prevent sticking. Once it is heated, place the steak on the grill and cook for 7-10 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Remove the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to settle. Thinly slice the steak across the grain on a diagonal. Check for salt and add more salt if needed.
  4. Place steak on top of warmed corn or flour tortillas. Top with your favorite condiments. Serve immediately.
