Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of steak: Flank steak is a relatively thin, flavorful cut of beef that is perfect for grilling. It's important to choose a steak that is at least 1 inch thick, so that it can withstand the heat of the grill without overcooking.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a citrus-based marinade will help to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. The marinade in this recipe includes orange juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, and chili powder.
  • Grill the steak over high heat: Flank steak should be grilled over high heat for a short period of time, so that it remains tender and juicy. Cook the steak for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing: Once the steak is cooked, it's important to let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite sides: Grilled flank steak can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Grilled orange flank steak is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The citrus marinade tenderizes the steak and infuses it with flavor, while the high heat of the grill creates a perfectly cooked, juicy steak. Serve the steak with your favorite sides for a complete meal that everyone will enjoy.
