Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine lime juice, olive oil, garlic, and cilantro. Add the flank steak, turning to coat evenly. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
2
Remove the steak from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off. Grill the steak for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
3
Meanwhile, brush the bell peppers, zucchini, and onions with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the vegetables for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
