Directions

Prep 300 minCook 15 min

1
Mix cumin, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne in a bowl and set aside.
2
In another bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, orange juice, and lime juice. Mix well.
3
Add 3 tablespoons of the spice mix to the marinade, whisk to combine, and add the steak. Seal in a bag, removing excess air, and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight.
4
Mix the remaining spice mix with olive oil to create a spice rub.
5
Discard the marinade and pat the steak dry with a paper towel. Rub the steak evenly with the spice rub and let it rest at room temperature for 30-60 minutes.
6
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and grease it. Grill the steak for 7 to 10 minutes per side for medium-rare. For medium or medium-well, continue cooking over indirect heat for an additional 5-10 minutes per side.
7
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
