Ingredients
  

Ingredients:

  • Juice of one orange
  • Juice of one lime
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 jalapeno minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 pounds flank steak

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, lime juice, oil, soy sauce, cilantro, garlic, jalapeño and cumin. Taste and if needed, add salt.
  • Place steak in a resealable plastic bag, pour ingredients over the top. Seal bag and massage marinade into meat. Refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
  • Remove meat from fridge one hour before you want to cook it to allow to come to room temperature.
  • Remove meat from marinade and pat dry.
  • Heat grill to medium-high heat. Grill steak 3 - 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Use a meat thermometer for the most accuracy and remember the temperature will rise a couple of degrees while the steak rests.
