Ingredients
  

For the Marinade:

  • 4 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes (optional)

For the Steak:

  • 1 flank steak, approx. 1.5 lbs
  • salt, to taste
  • pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

For the Marinade:

  • In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lime juice, oregano, garlic, paprika, and cayenne pepper or chili flakes (if using)
  • Coat flank steak cuts with marinade evenly on both sides and let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour before cooking. Consider leaving it in the marinade for longer for better flavor infusion

For the Steak:

  • Preheat your broiler to high and move the rack below the heat source, around 4-6 inches
  • Liberally season steak on both sides with salt and pepper, then place on a wire rack with a baking sheet lined with foil on top. Cook for 8 minutes per side for medium-rare, or use a meat thermometer until desired doneness is reached
  • Remove from the broiler and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving
