Ingredients
-
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
-
¼ cup soy sauce
-
¼ cup lime juice
-
¼ cup lemon juice
-
¼ cup orange juice
-
1 small bunch cilantro, chopped, or to taste
-
2 tablespoons chili powder
-
4 cloves garlic, crushed
-
2 teaspoons ground cumin
-
1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
-
1 ½ teaspoons crushed coriander seeds
-
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
-
1 teaspoon finely chopped chipotle pepper
-
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
-
½ teaspoon white sugar
-
2 pounds flank steak
-
2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
Directions
-
Combine onion, soy sauce, lime juice, lemon juice, orange juice, cilantro, chili powder, garlic, cumin, oregano, coriander, hot sauce, chipotle pepper, black pepper, and sugar in a 1-gallon plastic zip-top bag. Add steak and seal. Marinate in the refrigerator, turning and massaging meat frequently, for up to 24 hours.
-
Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Add steak and marinade. Cook steak until medium-rare to medium, 4 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 to 140 degrees F (54 to 60 degrees C).
Cook's Notes:
Substitute flank steak for skirt steak if you like.
If using light soy sauce, measure out 1/2 cup.
