Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs beef (flank or skirt steak)
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 4 chopped garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 diced jalapeno
  • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Whisk all ingredients together to make a marinade. Add beef and marinate it for at least 6 hours, up to 24 hours preferably.
