Delicious South American Beef Recipe for Main Course

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 pound beef steak (preferably flank or sirloin)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lime juice to create a marinade.

    Let the marinade sit for at least 10 minutes to enhance the flavors.
  2. Marinate the Beef

    Place the beef steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish, pour the marinade over it, and ensure it's well-coated.

    Marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight, in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

    Ensure the grill is hot to achieve a good sear on the meat.
  4. Grill the Beef

    Remove the beef from the marinade and grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

    Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 130-135°F for medium-rare.
  5. Rest and Serve

    Remove the beef from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.

    Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving for added flavor.
