- 3 lbs Flank or Skirt Steak I use 2 flank steaks
- 2 TBS olive oil
- 2 large oranges
- 2 limes
- 2 TBS white wine vinegar
- 2 TBS coconut aminos I use Coconut Secrets
- 4 garlic cloves minced or chopped
- 1/2 jalapeno diced more or less if desired
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
- 2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp cumin
Marinade
Squeeze juice from orange and lime into a large glass or stainless steel bowl.
Whisk in olive oil, vinegar, coconut aminos, garlic, jalapeno, cilantro, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Add meat, turn until well combined and all the meat is covered.
Marinate covered in the fridge all day. At least 4+ hours.
Grilling
Remove meat from the fridge about 30 minutes before grilling.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
When grill is heated, place flank steak on the grill. Grill each side about 5 minutes. Times may vary due to thickness of meat and the grill.
Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
Slice thinly.
Serve on my homemade tortilla shells or a bed of lettuce with your favorite topping.
