Ingredients

  • 2 pounds flank or skirt steak

Marinade:

  • Zest of 2 limes
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • Juice from one large orange
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 jalapeno (seeds and veins removed and finely minced)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Garnish:

  • Parsley (finely chopped)
  • Jalapeno slices

Instructions

  1. Combine all the marinade ingredients in a large bowl that would fit the beef or in a large ziplock bag. Squeeze it around to mix it up.
  2. Add the entire flank steak into the bag or bowl. Seal it up tight or cover with plastic wrap. Make sure all the meat is exposed to the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
  3. Heat an outdoor grill or cast iron grill pan to high heat and grease it with oil lightly.
  4. Remove the flank steak from the marinade, and discard excess marinade.
  5. Cook on the grill for 7 to 10 minutes per side.
  6. Remove from heat and let rest for 10 minutes.
  7. Slice against the grain, and serve.
