25g (4-5 cloves) minced garlic
5g (1 T) dried oregano
5g (2.5 t) ground coriander
15g (2 T) smoked paprika
5g (2 t) ground cumin

30g (2 T) finely diced jalapeño
15g (1 c loose) finely chopped cilantro
30g (1 lime) fresh lime juice
8g (1-3/4 t) kosher salt

Jaccard each steak 10–12 times (or poke with fork 30–40 times). Cut into 4 equal pieces. Season both sides generously with salt; rest 15 min.

Combine all marinade ingredients; blend 30 s to a smooth paste.

Add steaks to a ziplock bag, add marinade, coat well, expel air, and seal. Chill overnight (or minimum 2 h).

To make the pico de gallo, dice tomatoes (discard pith/gel), place in strainer to remove excess tomato water. Combine tomato, onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice & salt; stir. Let sit 20 min for flavors to mingle.

To grill the steaks, heat grill to high; oil grates well. Grill steak 3–4 min per side until lacquered and the internal temp reads 130–140 °F (54–60 °C). Rest 5–10 min.

Slice steak across the grain, then into 1/2-inch cubes.
