Marinade

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
1 1/2 tbsp sugar
1 1/2 tbsp lime juice
6 garlic cloves (minced)
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tsp chili flakes
2 jalapenos (diced)
1 tsp onion powder
2 tsp cumin
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 tbsp ground black pepper

Toppings

lime wedges
corn tortillas
5 radishes (thinly sliced)
1 cup lettuce (shredded)

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, apple cider vinegar, sugar, black pepper, and cumin. Add in the garlic, jalapeno, and cilantro. Place the steak in the marinade and coat thoroughly. Allow the steak to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2-4 hours.
Once the steak has been fully marinated, remove the steak from the fridge and allow it to reach room temperature.
In a skillet on high heat, sear the steak on both sides, about 2-3 minutes on each side, forming a brown crust. Lower the heat and continue to cook the state until it reaches about 10 degrees from your desired doneness and remove from heat (About 120F degrees for medium at 140F). Allow the steak to rest for about 10 minutes. Slice the steak across the grain and serve with desired garnishes.
