📝 Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1/2 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 jalapeno (minced)
• 1 teaspoon cumin (ground)
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 cup cilantro (fresh, chopped)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
• 2 pounds flank steak

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Marinate steak.: In a large ziploc bag combine together the olive oil, lime juice, orange juice, soy sauce, garlic, jalapeno, cumin, chili powder, cilantro, salt and pepper. Reserve ¼ cup in a bowl and set aside in the fridge. Add the flank steak to the bag, close the ziploc bag and shake the bag around a bit, making sure the steak is covered in the marinade. Place it in the fridge and let it marinate for 2 to 4 hours.
2. 2Prep the grill: Heat your grill till it gets to about 400°F.
3. 3Grill the steak for about 5 to 7 minutes per side or until done to your likeness. Transfer it to a plate and cover it with aluminum foil. Let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips. If you slice it right away all the juices will come out and you'll end up with a dry steak.
4. 4Slice and serve: Thinly slice the steak against the grain and serve with remaining reserved marinade. Serve immediately.
