Ingredients

  • 2 pounds flank steak or skirt steak
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1 clove garlic smashed
  • 1 handful cilantro chopped
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ancho-chili pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 12 soft flour tortillas
  • iceberg lettuce shredded or sliced

Instructions

  • In a mini food processor; place the cilantro, garlic and lime juice and pulse quickly until chopped.
  • Toss the remaining ingredients in with the cilantro/garlic and pulse until combined.
  • Marinate flank steak for 30 minutes on the counter top, bringing the meat up to temp before grilling it.
  • Preheat your grill to 450-500°.
  • Once your grill is preheated, place the steak onto the hot grates. Close the lid and grill for 5 minutes. Flip and repeat for 4 to 6 more minutes or until the internal temp is 145°.
  • Transfer the steak to a cutting board, tent with foil and let rest for 8 minutes before slicing.
  • Heat up some warm soft flour tortillas, layer with thinly sliced strips of the Cilantro-Lime Steak, shredded ice berg lettuce, pico de gallo and top with shredded Monterey Jack cheese!
