Instructions
 

Marinade

  • Whisk together olive oil, lime juice, garlic, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add steak, toss to coat, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Timing note: You will need to allow 45 minutes prior to cooking for the steak to rest at room temperature.

Cilantro Lime Butter

  • This can be prepared while the steak is resting or at the time you prepare the marinade. Refrigerate until needed.
  • In a small bowl combine butter, garlic, cilantro, lime zest, salt, cumin and pepper. Mash with a fork until well mixed.

Cooking Steak

  • Take the steak out of the refrigerator 45 minutes before you plan to cook it.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill.
  • Pat the steak dry, brush off the garlic pieces so they won't burn and discard the marinade.
  • Grill the steak for 2 minutes per side for medium or unit it reaches your desired cook temperature.
  • Transfer the steak to a plate, tent with foil, and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Slice on the diagonal (against the grain) into strips. Top with the cilantro-lime butter and serve with lime wedges.
