Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, 3 tbsp olive oil, 5 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to form the marinade.
Step 2: Add 1 lb flank steak strips to the marinade, tossing to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours to absorb flavors.
Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Thread marinated steak strips onto 8 soaked wooden skewers, leaving a little space between pieces.
Step 4: Grill skewers for 3-4 minutes per side until steak is cooked to medium-rare and edges are slightly charred.
Step 5: Remove from grill and sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley before serving hot.
