🧂 Ingredients

1 In a medium bowl combine everything except steak. Either add steak to bowl or
place steak in large ziplock bag and then add marinade.
2 Ensure steak is well coated with marinade and cover bowl or close bag and place
in refrigerator to marinade for at least 30 minutes. Preferably leave to
marinade in refrigerator for a couple of hours.
3 Heat grill or place grill pan over high heat until hot. Make sure either grill
or pan are very hot.

Have a sheet pan ready with foil to place steak onto as it is cooked.
4 Place steak on grill or grill pan. Times vary per cut of steak and thickness of
steak.

For skirt steak: cook on each side for 2-3 minutes

For flank steak: cook on each side for 8-10 minutes

For other steaks: coon on each side for 3-4 minutes.

Cook until desired doneness. Highly recommend not cooking skirt or flank steak
for any longer to avoid tough, dry meat. Use thermometer if you want to ensure
accurate doneness.
5 Once cooked, add steak to foiled pan and cover to rest steak and ensure all
juices are contained.
6 Served with a side of rice and beans. With tortillas and fresh salsa for tacos.
Add grilled green onions on the side.
