Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 183cal
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds flank steak
Marinade
- 1 cup orange juice freshly squeezed from 3-4 oranges
- ¼ cup lime juice freshly squeezed from 2-3 limes
- 3 Tablespoons white vinegar
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro leaves
- ⅓ cup chopped jalapeno pepper
- 2 teaspoons garlic salt
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
- ½ Tablespoon ground cumin
Instructions
- Combine all marinade ingredients in an immersion blender. Blend until combined well and a few chunks remain.
- Pour marinade over steak in a glass dish or a zip top plastic gallon size bag. Allow to marinate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
Notes
- This marinade will also work well on skirt steak, short rib, or sirloin steaks. It's also great for chicken and pork.
- About 3-4 oranges will yield 1 cup of freshly squeezed juice. Depending on their size, 2 limes should yield 1/4 cup of juice. I always like to grab an extra one just in case. I don't recommend using pre-bottled orange juice as there are added sugars.
- The jalapeno adds a nice dose of spice. Leave the ribs and seeds intact before chopping for more of a kick.
- Do note that the nutrition facts listed are for the entire marinade, which you will not consume whole.
