- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 2 lb. flank steak (we used 2 steaks)

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.
