- 1 bunch fresh cilantro chopped (use half for marinade, 1/2 for rice bowl)

- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 2 lb. flank steak (we used 2 steaks)
- Jasmine rice-2 cups dry
- 1 red bell pepper, diced

1. Add garlic, lime juice, tequila, soy sauce, cilantro, jalapeño, black pepper, and cumin in a large gallon bag.
2. Add steak, seal bag, and mix to combine and coat steak.
3. Place into the refrigerator and let marinate for about 2-3 hours.
4. When ready to cook: preheat the grill to medium-high. Remove steak from marinade (keep marinade) bag and place on grill. Cook for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare or longer for desired doneness.
5. Remove steak from grill and let rest on cutting board for 5 minutes. While the steak is cooking, add marinade from the bag into a medium saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat to just simmering, let simmer for 2-3 minutes, then strain and reserve. Slice steak against the grain.
