Cilantro-lime marinade flank steak tacos

Corey and I love trying out new meat marinades, especially steak. So when I saw this recipe on Eat Live Run (a guest post from Laurie at Simply Scratch), I just had to try it! This would be great as is but it was an awesome twist to traditional steak tacos.

Ingredients:

• Flank or skirt steak (about 2 lbs)
• 1/3 cup of olive oil
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1 clove of garlic, smashed
• Cilantro (about a handful)
• 2 teaspoons of honey
• 1/2 teaspoon of cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon of chili pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
• Kosher salt and black pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Place cilantro, garlic and lime juice in a food processor and pulse quickly until chopped. Toss the remaining ingredients in the processor and pulse until combined. Place contents in a large Ziploc bag.

2. Tenderize meat then marinate the steak overnight in a bag. Place the bag on the counter 30 minutes before grilling to bring the meat to room temperature.

3. Grill the steak for 6-8 minutes per side on medium-high heat for a medium-well done steak.

4. Cut into strips or cubes and serve!
