I’m a sucker for anything cilantro-lime. These two flavors together are heaven to my senses!! This is an easy marinade that adds a lot of flavor! It was a crowd pleaser in my house!
Ingredients:
1 (2 pound) flank steak
2/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons fresh lime zest
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 lime for juicing
Place the flank steak in a baking dish or a ziplock bag. In a bowl, whisk together the cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Pour it over the flank steak and marinate anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hour or even overnight! I had mine go about 6 hrs.
When you’re ready to cook the steak, you can grill, broil or pan sear it to your liking. I grilled mine. Preheat grill to high heat. Place steak on grill and let go about 5 minutes. Flip and let go another 4-5. This should get it to a nice medium-rare.
Allow the steak to rest for 10 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
Top with fresh chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime!
