    Mix the onion, cilantro, lime juice, soy sauce, oil, sugar, oregano, pepper flakes, and garlic in a large bowl.

    Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat and lightly oil the grate.

  4. 4

    Take the steak out of the marinade and shake off any excess. Throw away the remaining marinade.

    Grill on the preheated grill to your preferred doneness, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Let the steak rest for 5 to 10 minutes; slice against the grain into 1/4-inch slices.
