Flank Steak In Mojo Criollo
- juice of 1/2 orange
- juice of 1 lime (if it's a particularly dry one, use an extra half)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce (just one chile, not one can!), diced with a little of the sauce
- 1 tablespoon cilantro, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
- pinch or two of salt
- 1.5 - 2 pound flank steak
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and use to marinate the steak. You can put the meat into the marinade before leaving for work and throw the steak on the grill when you get home. I like to let it sit in the marinade at least 3 - 4 hours (in the refrigerator). Take the steak out of the refrigerator about half an hour before you want to cook it to let it lose some of the chill.
- Sear flank steak on grill over direct heat, about 2 - 3 minutes on each side, depending on your grill, then move to indirect heat and finish cooking to your liking. Time will depend on the type of grill, thickness of meat, and whether it's grassfed or not. Let rest about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Serve with warmed tortillas, avocado slices or guacamole, beans and rice, lettuce, onions, peppers, etc. In the alternative, it's also great with sides of corn, tomato salad, and/or potato salad.
