Directions
8 STEPS
1
In a large bowl, whisk together the orange juice, olive oil, cilantro, lime juice, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, cumin, salt, black pepper, jalapeño, and garlic until well combined.
2
Reserve 1/3 cup of the marinade and refrigerate.
3
Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the remaining marinade over it. Seal tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferable overnight for maximum flavor.
4
Preheat grill to high heat.
5
Remove steak from marinade and gently pat dry with paper towels. Discard the used marinade.
6
Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure proper cooking: 125°F to 130°F for rare, 135°F to 140°F for medium-rare, or 145°F for medium.
7
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes.
8
Thinly slice steak against the grain and drizzle reserved marinade on top as a garnish before serving.
