Ingredients

• Beef flank steak - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lime juice - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Corn tortillas - 4 pieces
• Fresh cilantro - 1/2 cup, chopped

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the beef flank steak and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. While the beef is marinating, prepare the salsa by blending fresh cilantro, jalapeño pepper, minced garlic, Greek yogurt, and water until smooth. Season with salt to taste.
