Ingredients

Flank Steak Marinade

1 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
¼ cup cilantro chopped
¼ cup white onion diced
2 teaspoons garlic minced
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon cumin

Tacos

2 pounds flank steak
8 6-inch flour tortillas
chopped cilantro, avocado, onions, cotija cheese, and lime wedges - topping

Instructions

Add all the marinade ingredients to a 1-gallon freezer bag. Mix until well combined, and add flank steak.
Coat flank steak in marinade and refrigerate for 1-24 hours.
Remove flank steak from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
Preheat your gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat, about 425℉. (or grilling pan on the stove on medium-high heat). Remove flank steak from marinade and remove any onions or cilantro that may be attached. Grill the flank steak for 3-4 minutes on each side or until it reaches 135℉ internal temperature.
Remove from the grill and cover. Let the flank steak rest for 5-10 minutes.
Slice against the grain and add steak to the tortillas. Serve with your favorite toppings, and enjoy.

Notes

Marinating your steak for a full 24 hours will make it super tender and give it the most flavor.
Grill your flank steak on high heat to quickly cook the outside while keeping the inside tender.
To avoid overcooking, remove your flank steak from the grill as soon as it reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees.
