instructions
    1

    Begin by marinating the beef flank steak. In a bowl, combine lime juice, olive oil, cumin, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well, then add the steak, ensuring it is well coated in the marinade. Let it sit for 30 minutes.

    While the steak is marinating, prepare the yogurt sauce. In another bowl, combine plain yogurt, chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside.

    3

    After marinating, heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the flank steak for about 6-8 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

    Once cooked, let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
