Instructions

Step 1: In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/2 cup fresh orange juice, 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Step 2: Place 1.5 pounds flank steak in the marinade, turning to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 6 hours.
Step 3: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 450°F). Remove steak from marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 4: Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
Step 5: Sprinkle the sliced steak with 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
