By charlotteh371

Ingredients

• The juice of 1 orange
• The juice of 2 limes
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
• 1 tablespoon chipotle chili powder
• 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 pound flank steak

Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
1.With a small, sharp paring knife score the steak on both sides.
2.Combine the orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, chili powder, cumin and salt in the bowl of a food processor or blender; puree until smooth. Place the steak in a large, resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Press out the air, seal the bag and marinate at room temperature for at least 2 hours.
3.Prepare the coals on the grill until they are glowing red with a white ash around them. Drain and discard the marinade and place the steak 4 inches over the coals; sear quickly, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
4.Move the steak away from the direct heat, cover the grill and continue to cook until the internal temperature reaches 135 F, about 7 to 10 minutes longer. Remove the steak from the grill and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
