Directions
- 1Start by taking off the top of a bunch of cilantro and cutting it up fairly small, chopping for about a minute or using a processor.

- 3Add half a cup of olive oil, brown sugar, the zest and juice of one lime, and a couple of tablespoons of soy sauce to the mixture.
- 4Mix the marinade ingredients thoroughly.
- 5Place the sirloin flap steak into the marinade, ensuring everything is beautifully coated.
- 6Refrigerate the marinated meat for up to four hours; an hour is sufficient if time is short.
- 7Grill the thin pieces of meat for a couple of minutes per side.
- 8Grill thicker pieces of meat for about three minutes per side until done.
- 9Remove the meat from the grill once it has good charring marks.
- 10Cut the cooked meat against the grain to shorten the fibers and make it more juicy and tender.
