step 2
Transfer the marinade to a large ziplock bag and add the Flank Steak (1.5 lb). Marinate for 6 hours or overnight (preferred).

For the Elote, if needed, cook the Corn (4 ears). Remove the corn from the cob and add it to a large bowl. Season with Garlic Salt (to taste), Salt (to taste), and Ground Black Pepper (to taste).
