  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine lime juice, olive oil, cumin, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, soy sauce, chipotle powder, and lime zest.
  2. Place the flank steak in a Ziploc bag and pour the marinade over it. Seal tightly and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours.

  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates with a paper towel dipped in olive oil.
  5. Grill the marinated flank steak for approximately 4-6 minutes per side depending on desired doneness.
  6. Use an instant-read meat thermometer to check for internal temperatures: 140-145°F for medium-rare or 155-160°F for medium.
  7. Once cooked, let the steak rest for about 5 minutes before slicing against the grain and serving garnished with fresh lime wedges.
