Bistec a la Barbacoa

Bistec a la Barbacoa is a vibrant Spanish BBQ dish featuring tender beef steak marinated in a blend of spices and grilled to perfection. This protein-packed meal is perfect for a summer gathering or a hearty dinner.

Ingredients

• Beef steak (sirloin or flank) - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic cloves - 3, minced
• Paprika - 1 tablespoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
2. Place the beef steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring the meat is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.
3. Preheat your grill or BBQ to medium-high heat.
4. Remove the steak from the marinade and let it come to room temperature for about 15 minutes.
5. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if desired. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 57°C (135°F) for medium-rare.
6. Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
7. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with your choice of sides.
