In a large bowl and the chipotle chile peppers, garlic, onions, green onions, cilantro, parsley, tomato purée, lime juice, cumin,

About an hour before cooking remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature.
Cook the steak on a grill over medium high heat for about 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium rare (you should increase the cooking time accordingly for medium or well done steak).
Remove the steak from the grill and set it aside to rest for 8 to 10 minutes. Slice the steak into 1 inch slices and serve immediately with warm tortillas, guacamole, onion slices, salsa, sour cream or any other Mexican condiments you like.
