Before grilling marinade of oil, cumin, chili powder and black pepper. Rub steaks down and set aside until grill comes up to temp.
Bring grill to temperature of a minimum of 400°F. Anything over is fine.
Before putting the steaks on the grill squeeze the juice from a lime. You will baste the steak with lime while grilling.
Add the steak to the grill. The steak should take about 3 minutes to each side. Do not close the cover on the grill, leave it open.
when you do the first flip brush/baste lime juice across the top of the steak.
Remove steak from the grill after 6 minutes. The steak should be cooked through but if it isn't what you'd personally like place on a sheet pan in the oven at 400°F until the steak reaches and internal temp of your liking.
