In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, chipotle in adobo, lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Choose your favorite cut of steak, such as flank, sirloin, or ribeye. Pat the meat dry with paper towels.

Place the steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, then pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag or cover the dish.

Let the steak soak up the flavors for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours.

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or heat a stovetop pan.

Take the steak out of the marinade and let any excess drip off.

Place the steak on the grill or in the pan. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes per side.

Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for at least 5 minutes.

Slice the steak against the grain and serve.
