Ingredients

2-3 pounds flank or skirt steak 1 inch thick
⅓ cup white vinegar
⅓ cup olive oil
2 limes juiced
4 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 ½ teaspoon chili powder
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Additional kosher salt while cooking

Instructions

Place flank steak in a large ziplock bag.
In a small mixing bowl combine remaining ingredients and whisk. Pour over meat in bag and seal. Marinade for at least 4 hours, up to 24 hours in the fridge.
To grill: preheat one side of the grill on high and the other on medium. Season steak well with kosher salt and place on the HIGH side first for 1-2 minutes per side to get a nice charred crust. Then transfer to the MEDIUM heat side and continue to cook an additional 3-4 minutes per side for medium.
To Broil: Preheat broiler on HIGH. Place oven rack at the highest setting. Season steak well with kosher salt and broil 5-6 minutes per side for medium.
Always remove steaks from the heat and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing to let the juices redistribute. As flank steak is very fibrous, cut ACROSS the grain of the meat to make it tender.
