Ingredients

2 pounds flank or skirt steak

Olive oil

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Marinade:

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 jalapeño chile pepper, seeded and minced

1 teaspoon freshly ground cumin seed (best to lightly toast the seeds first, then grind them)

1 large handful fresh cilantro, leaves and stems, finely chopped (great flavor in the stems)

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 limes, juiced

2 tablespoons white vinegar

1/2 teaspoon sugar

1/2 cup olive oil

Directions

Lay the flank steak in a large non-reactive bowl or baking dish.

Combine marinade ingredients and pour the marinade over the steak. Make sure each piece is well coated. Cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-4 hours.

Preheat your grill over medium-high flame (you can also use a cast iron grill pan on high heat for stove-top cooking). Brush the grates with a little oil to prevent the meat from sticking.

Remove the steak from the marinade.

Season both sides of the steak pieces with salt and pepper.

Grill the pieces for a few minutes only, on each side, depending on how thin they are, until medium rare to well done, to your preference.

Remove the steak pieces to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.

Thinly slice the steak across the grain on a diagonal.

Serve with warm tortillas (flour or corn). Warm the tortillas for 30 seconds on each side in a dry skillet or on the grill, until toasty and pliable. Or you can warm tortillas in a microwave: heating just one or two at a time, place tortillas on a paper towel and microwave them for 15 to 20 seconds each on high.

Serve with fresh tomato salsa.
