Carne Asada

We love this recipe!  It takes a few minutes to prepare the marinade, but hours later, it's time to grill!  It makes great leftovers as is, and is amazing on a salad with blue cheese crumbles, etc.!  Enjoy, this is yummy y'all!  -Claire

Ingredients:  

• 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
• Juice of 1 orange
• Juice of 1 lime
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 or 2 jalapenos, seeded and diced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 1/2 pounds flank steak

Directions:

1. In a medium bowl, combine cilantro, olive oil, soy sauce, orange juice, lime juice, garlic, jalapeno, cumin and 1 teaspoon pepper; set aside 1/2 cup of the mixture in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
2. In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine steak and remaining cilantro mixture; marinate for at least 4 hours to overnight, turning the bag occasionally. Drain the steak from the marinade.
3. Preheat grill to medium high heat.  Using paper towls, pat both sides of the steak dry; season with sat and pepper, to taste.
4. Add steak to grill, and cook, flipping once, until desired doneness, about 6 minutes per side for medium rare.  Let rest 5 minutes.
5. Thinly slice steak against the grain and serve with reserved 1/2 cup cilantro mixture.
