Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ pounds flank steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice

- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin

Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and lime zest to create a marinade.

- Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
- Serve the steak with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
