Ingredients
1 pounds flank or skirt steaksauce (mojo):2 garlic cloves1 jalapeno, minced2 Tbsp. fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped1 lime juiced1/2 orange, juiced1 tablespoons vinegar1/8 cup Tbsp Olive Oilblack pepper
Directions
Mix sauce together: mash together garlic, jalapeno, cilantro, (salt if added), and pepper to make a paste. Put the paste in a glass jar or plastic container, add lime juice, orange juice, vinegar, and oil. Shake well to combine.
Marinade: Lay the steak in a large baking dish and pour the sauce over. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 8 hours, no more than 8 hours (meat becomes too mushy).
Preheat outdoor grill or ridged grill pan over medium-high heat (you can also use a broiler). Brush the grates or pan with a little oil to prevent meat from sticking. Pull the steak out of the marinade and season both sides with salt and pepper (I omitted the salt in this recipe). Grill (or broil) the steak for 7 to 10 minutes per side, turning once, until medium-rare. Remove the steak to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Thinly slice the steak across the grain on a diagonal.
