Marinate6

Combine all marinade ingredients in a shallow container and add steak, flipping a couple of times to ensure it is well coated
Let the steak sit in the marinade for 1 hour or up to 8 hours in the fridge
30 minutes before putting the steak on the grill, remove it from the fridge and let it come to room temperature
Heat the grill to 350° to 400°
Place a little oil on each lime wedge and sprinkle with salt
Once the grill is heated, place the steak on the grill
About three minutes before the steak is done, place the lime wedges on the grill and allow all sides to get some grill marks
Remove the steak and wedges, allow the steak to rest for 5 minutes
Thinly slice across the grain, plate with a charred lime wedge to squeeze overtop

The lime wedges can be optional, but when put together with the chimichurri and South American Bean salad the hit of charred lime is spectacular.

If you have a few limes, char a couple and use them in cocktails, it adds a whole other dimension!
