Instructions
-
Marinate the Steak:
In a bowl or resealable bag, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, soy sauce, Worcestershire, garlic, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the flank steak and coat it well. Cover or seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to 8 hours. -
Prep the Grill:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grates with oil to prevent sticking. -
Grill the Steak:
Remove the steak from the marinade and let excess drip off. Grill the steak for 4–6 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. -
Cook the Veggies:
While the steak is resting, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring often, until softened and lightly charred. -
Slice and Serve:
Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Serve in warm tortillas with the grilled veggies and your favorite toppings.
Notes
-
For extra charred veggies, cook them directly on a grill basket instead of a pan.
-
Flank steak can be swapped with skirt steak or sirloin if preferred.
-
Don’t skip the resting time – it helps keep the steak juicy!
