How to Make Grilled Garlic Flank Steak

  1. Trim excess fat from 1.5 lbs flank steak and place in a large, shallow dish.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together: 1/4 cup lime juice, 1/4 cup tequila, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  3. Pour marinade over the steak, ensuring it's fully coated. Cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours, turning the steak halfway through.
  4. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  5. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill the steak for 7-8 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness (use a meat thermometer for accuracy).
  6. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender steak.
  7. Slice the steak thinly across the grain into 1/4-inch slices.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
