Ingredients
- 1.5 pound flank steak
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup lime juice
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1 chipotle pepper
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons each of oregano, chili powder, and kosher salt
- 1.5 teaspoon cumin
- ½ cup loose cilantro
Instructions
- Combine the marinade ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour over the steak, flip a few times to fully coat.
- Allow the steak to marinate at least two hours, or up to 24 hours.
- When ready to cook heat a large cast iron skillet to medium high heat. (If your skillet isn't big enough it is okay to cut the steak in half and do this in two batches)
- Add 1-2 tablespoons of avocado oil to the skillet.
- Place the steak into the hot skillet and cook 4-5 minutes on that side completely undisturbed. Take a peek and if your steak has a good sear, flip it. Cook another 4-5 minutes.
