Steps:
- Combine the orange, lemon, and lime juice in a large glass or ceramic bowl along with the garlic, soy sauce, chipotle pepper, chili power, ground cumin, paprika, dried oregano, black pepper, and cilantro. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until marinade is well combined. Remove one cup of the marinade and place in a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for use after the meat is cooked.
- Place the flank steak between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the steak with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/4 inch. After pounding, poke steak all over with a fork. Add the meat to the marinade in the large bowl, cover, and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
- Remove the steak from the marinade and grill to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Discard used marinade. Remove meat from heat and slice across the grain.
- Pour the one cup of reserved, unused marinade over the hot meat and serve immediately.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh herbs, spices, and citrus fruits will give your marinade the best flavor.
- Taste your marinade before using it: Make sure it is flavorful enough, and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Marinate your meat or seafood for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than overnight: Over-marinating can toughen the meat.
- Use a non-reactive container for marinating: This means a glass, ceramic, or stainless steel container. Do not use aluminum or iron containers, as they can react with the acid in the marinade and alter the flavor of the food.
- Cover the container tightly and refrigerate it: This will help the marinade to penetrate the meat or seafood evenly.
- Turn the meat or seafood occasionally while it is marinating: This will help to ensure that all sides are evenly coated with the marinade.
- Discard the marinade after use: Do not reuse it, as it may contain harmful bacteria.
Conclusion:
A Latin marinade is a great way to add flavor and moisture to your meat or seafood. With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find one that you'll love. Just remember to follow the tips above to ensure that your marinade is effective and safe to use.
