This marinade is just a few ingredients, but packs a seriously powerful punch.
Juice of 1 (or 2) lime
3 Tablespoons of olive oil
4 cloves garlic, peeled, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 fresh Jalapeño peppers, seeded, ribs removed, finely chopped
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, including stems
1 lb of flank steak, skirt steak or carne asada
Mix all marinade ingredients. Coat the steak with the marinade and let it sit at room temperature for an hour, or longer in the fridge.
Set a large cast iron pan over high heat and let this heat up for 1-2 minutes. Add the tablespoon of oil to the pan and let this heat up for 1 minute. Add the steak, frying on each side for 3 minutes, or to desired doneness. 3 minutes per side will yield approximately medium rare doneness for an average cut of flank steak. Carne asada and skirt steak will need less time. If the pan starts to smoke too much, reduce the heat to medium-high. You want the steak browned, not burned. Remove from pan and let sit, tented with foil, for 5 minutes.
