FLANK STEAK WITH GARLIC, OREGANO, ORANGE AND CUMIN
By way of Melissa Clark in the Times, a very simple and delicious Cuban style flank steak. It cooks so quickly you can even use a stove-top grill and your kitchen won't get overheated. Marinate it briefly at room temp or longer in the fridge.

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.

STEAK NACHOS
Nachos are like pizza to me, a perfect food! My tips for making them super-delicious is to use restaurant-style chips if you can find them, and to prebake them before topping them. In this recipe I load them up with a grilled flank steak that gets its inspiration from Mexican carne asada. In addition to these nachos, you can also serve the steak just by itself, or use it in tacos, quesadillas, burritos and more.

GARLIC FENNEL FLANK STEAK WITH ORANGES
While this dish may appear to be inspired by Italian or Spanish influences (which it is), it's also a take on one of my favorite Chinese dishes: spicy orange beef. I love to grill flank steak with a highly-flavored rub of garlic, fennel, salt and black pepper.
