Description
A straightforward recipe for preparing flavorful Churrasco style steak.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs flank steak or skirt steak
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon coarse salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- Combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano in a bowl. This is your marinade.
- Place the steak in a resealable plastic bag or non-reactive dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Refrigerate the steak for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Remove the steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to let it come closer to room temperature.
- Preheat your grill to high heat. Clean and oil the grates.
- Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the excess liquid.
- Grill the steak for 4 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness.
- Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Slice the steak thinly against the grain.
Notes
- For best results, use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature: 130-135°F for medium-rare.
- You can substitute lemon juice for lime juice if preferred.
