Ingredients

Marinade

  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup fresh squeezed orange juice
  • juice from 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoon fresh chopped cilantro
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1-1.5 lbs flank steak
  • pico de Gallo or salsa
  • tortillas

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl combine the olive oil, orange juice, lime juice, cilantro, Worcestershire garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine.
  • Add the flank steak to a Tupperware container or baking dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to 8 hours. Do not marinate more than 8 hours.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat until it is very hot, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the steak and cook for 7 minutes and then flip, cooking another 5-8 minutes, until the internal temperature reads 135 degrees F.
  • Remove the steak from the grill, tent with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes. This helps the juice stay in the steak instead of running out.
  • Slice the steak agains the grain and serve in taco shells topped with desired toppings.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Do not exceed the 8 hour marinating time, as the citrus in the marinade with break down the flank steak too much.
Don't skip letting the steak rest for at least 5 minutes prior to slicing. I like to tent a piece of foil on top of it so it doesn't cool down too much. Letting the steak rest will prevent those delicious juices from running out of the steak. 
Use any of your favorite taco toppings! Ideas include sour cream, salsa, and guacamole, pickled jalapeños, corn salsa, queso, and fresh cilantro.
