CITRUS CARNE ASADA MARINADE
I have used this recipe for a number of years, and most often marinate enough steak for a few meals. After the marinade time, the steak can be frozen in meal-sized portions for quick meals later. The flavor of this carne asada is much better, and the meat much more tender, than any I have had in Mexican restaurants. If cut in strips, this meat also works very well for fajitas. Serve with tortillas, Mexican rice, and beans.

SPICY CITRUS SKIRT STEAK
You don't need a meat thermometer to grill a great skirt steak: When cooked over high heat, the inside will be medium rare once the steak is bronzed on the outside. For seasoning, counter the cut's big buttery flavor with something salty, spicy or fresh. In this recipe, the grilled steak rests in a tart sauce of tangerine, soy sauce, ginger and vinegar that is reminiscent of ponzu, with hints of citrusy bitterness similar to the dried tangerine peel used in Sichuan and Hunan cooking. Here, that bittersweet edge comes from charring the fruit and peel. Serve with rice or a grilled green vegetable like Chinese broccoli or asparagus.

Steps:
- Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for two-zone cooking over high heat: For a charcoal grill, pour the coals onto one half of the grill. For a gas grill, heat all the burners, then turn off one of the end burners. (See Tips.)
- While the grill is heating, pat the steak dry and cut into 5- to 6-inch pieces with the grain. (This makes it easier to fit on the grill.) Set aside to air-dry while you make the sauce: Squeeze 1 cup of juice from about 6 tangerines into a bowl or rimmed dish large enough to hold the steak after it's grilled. (Set aside the remaining unjuiced halves on a sheet pan.) Add the spent tangerine halves to the juice. Smash the halves with a spoon to release the rind's oils (as if you're muddling a cocktail). To the juice and spent tangerine halves, add the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sambal oelek, ginger and garlic, and season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
- When you're ready to grill, add the steak to the sheet pan of unjuiced tangerine halves and lightly coat everything with neutral oil. Season generously with salt. Bring the sheet pan of tangerine halves and steak, sauce, a tightly folded paper towel soaked with oil, and tongs to the grill. Clean the grates with a grill brush, then oil the grates with the paper towel. Grill the steak over direct heat, flipping halfway through, until well browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Grill the tangerines over direct heat, flipping halfway through, until blackened, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
- As the steak and tangerine halves finish, add them to the sauce and turn to coat. Squeeze the charred citrus with your tongs to release the juice and the peels into the dish. Let rest for at least 5 minutes and up to 30. Slice the steak against the grain and serve with the sauce. Season to taste with salt, pepper and sambal oelek.
CITRUS STEAK MARINADE
This a great steak marinade that has citrus and spice flavoring. The sugar will burn quickly on the grill so be mindful of the time the steak is on the grill.

Tips:
- Choose the right flank steak: Look for a flank steak that is about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds and has a nice, even thickness. Avoid steaks that are too thin or too thick, as they will not cook evenly.
- Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize it and add flavor. Try using a marinade made with citrus juice, olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices.
- Cook the steak over high heat: Flank steak should be cooked over high heat to quickly sear the outside and prevent it from becoming tough. Try using a grill, a cast-iron skillet, or a grill pan.
- Let the steak rest before slicing: After cooking the steak, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the steak and prevent them from running out when you cut it.
- Serve the steak with your favorite sides: Citrus flank steak can be served with a variety of sides, such as grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
Conclusion:
Citrus flank steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. By following the tips above, you can cook a flank steak that is tender, flavorful, and juicy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give citrus flank steak a try.
