Easy Grilled Garlic Lime Steak Recipe

This steak is marinated in a zesty garlic lime mixture, then grilled to perfection. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

4 ribeye or flank steaks (about 1 inch thick)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
Marinate the Steaks: Place the steaks in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Grill the Steaks: Remove the steaks from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached.

Rest and Serve: Once cooked, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve hot.
