Description

Flavorful marinated steak grilled to perfection, perfect for tacos, burritos, or served with sides.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 22 ½ pounds flank or skirt steak
  • ¼ cup EACH: lime juice AND orange juice (fresh)
  • ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 10 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
  • 3 tablespoons high heat oil
  • 2 teaspoons EACH: ground cumin, dried Mexican oregano AND chipotle chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup cilantro (leaves + stems)
  • 1 large onion, cut into 8 pieces

Instructions

  1. MARINADE: In a bowl, whisk together all the ingredients except the cilantro and onions in a medium bowl. Pour the marinade into a large dish or a heavy-duty zip top bag, add the cilantro and onion pieces. Add the meat to the dish (flip to coat both sides.) Cover the dish or zip bag and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours and up to 10 hours.
  2. PREHEAT: Remove the meat from the fridge about 30 minutes prior to grilling. Preheat the grill on medium-high heat (you want to aim for 450-475ºF.) Remove the steak from the marinade and discard. Prep the grill by cleaning and oiling the grates. Grill the steak for 3-5 minutes per side until it cooks to desired temperature (see notes for temps.) Allow the meat to rest for 5-7 minutes before slicing against the grain and serving.

Notes

For medium-rare: 130-135°F, Medium: 140-145°F, Medium-well: 150-155°F
