Time 4h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound beef flank steak, trimmed of fat
1/3 cup reconstituted organic orange juice concentrate
1/4 cup snipped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 red and/or green sweet peppers, halved
1 red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices

Steps:

  • Score both sides of steak in a diamond pattern by making shallow diagonal cuts at 1-inch intervals. Place steak in a resealable plastic bag set in a shallow dish.
  • For marinade: In a small bowl, stir together orange juice, cilantro, vinegar, oil, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and crushed red pepper. Pour over steak in bag. Seal bag; turn to coat steak. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours, turning bag occasionally.
  • Drain steak, reserving marinade. Brush sweet pepper halves and onion slices with reserved marinade; discard any remaining marinade. Set vegetables aside. For a charcoal grill, place steak on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill for 8 minutes. Turn steak. Place vegetables, cut sides down, on grill rack with steak. Grill steak and vegetables for 9 to 13 minutes or until steak is medium doneness (160°F) and vegetables are crisp-tender, turning vegetables occasionally to brown evenly. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place steak and later vegetables on grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.)
  • To serve, thinly slice steak across the grain and cut sweet peppers into strips. Serve with grilled onion.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, but I still enjoyed this recipe. The orange and lime flavors really shine through.

I used a different cut of steak (skirt steak) and it was still really good. The marinade is what makes this dish.
