Ingredients
  

  • 2 tsp (10 g) ground cumin
  • 1 chili pepper, minced
  • ½ cup (120 ml) fresh lime juice
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp (5 g) sea salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 3 lbs (1 kg) flank steak
  • 2 medium garlic cloves
  • 1 ½ cups/60 g cilantro
  • 2 tbsp (20 g) red bell pepper, chopped
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 ½ tbsp/25 ml red wine vinegar
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp sea salt

Method
 

  1. COOKING INSTRUCTIONS Make the marinade by mixing together the cumin, chili pepper, lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper.
  2. Pour over the flank steak.
  3. Make sure it is well coated.
  4. Cover and marinate for at least 4 hours, up to overnight. Make the cilantro sauce by adding the garlic cloves, cilantro, red bell pepper, olive oil, red wine vinegar, chili powder and salt to the bowl of a food processor.
  5. Mix until combined but still slightly chunky. Take care to not liquefy the sauce too much. The sauce can be made ahead to allow flavors to further develop.
  6. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
  7. Grill the steaks for about 6–8 minutes per side for medium.
  8. Grilling times will depend on the thickness of your flank steak. Thinner parts will cook quicker.
  9. Cut the steak against the grain and serve drizzled with cilantro sauce. CHEF’S TIP For even grilling, remove the steak from the marinade and allow it to come to room temperature about 30 minutes before grilling.
