½ c. vegetable oil

2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tsp. cumin
1 Tbsp. chili powder
3 Tbsp. fresh cilantro, chopped
2 Tbsp. lime juice
1½ tsp. salt
Pepper to taste
2½ lb. flank steak
Directions
- In a small bowl, mix together the oil, onion, jalapeno chili, garlic, oregano, cumin, chili powder, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper.
- Cut rinsed steak a few times across the grain and then cut into 4 pieces. Put the steak in a large Ziploc plastic bag and pour marinade over it. Refrigerate for 3-5 hours (or overnight), turning occasionally.
- Remove the steak from the marinade. Prepare the grill (charcoal or gas) for direct grilling over medium-high heat. Grill the steak for 5-8 minutes on each side, turning once or until medium or medium-rare. May be served with grilled tortillas, salsa, pico de gallo and guacamole.
