Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ pounds flank steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (about 1 lime)

- Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
Notes
- For a smoky flavor, add 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika to the marinade.
- Serve with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
