Mexican Grilled Steak

I got this recipe out of a small low calorie cookbook which I no longer have and don't remember the name of. This is a pretty simple recipe, that's low in calories and has good flavor. If you want you can add red pepper flakes or hot sauce to make this a spicy dish because otherwise it is not.

• Ready In: 8 hrs 10 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 2  beef flank steak (about 1 lb each)
• 1⁄3 cup fresh cilantro
• 1⁄2 cup lime juice
• 2  tablespoons olive oil
• 2  teaspoons salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
• 4  garlic cloves, crushed

Directions

1. Cut both sides of the beef steaks with diamond patterns about 1/8-inch deep and places them in a shallow dish. Mix remaining ingredients together in a small bowl and pour over the beef. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours but no longer than 24 hours, turning the beef occasionally.
2. Heat the grill and put the steaks on. Cook for about 5 minutes per side and remove from heat. Cut the beef into thin slices across grain at a slanted angle and serve.
