Ingredients
Marinade:10 cloves garlic, minced1/2 teaspoon salt1/2 teaspoon black pepper, cracked1 teaspoon oregano1 cup orange juice1 lime, juiced1/4 cup olive oil1 1/2 pounds (24 ounces) flank steak, trimmed of visible fatThis recipe is part of the e-book: "SparkPeople's Ultimate Grilling Guide: 75 Hearty, Healthy Recipes You Can Really Sink Your Teeth Into."
Directions
Pour all the marinade ingredients into a large plastic bag, then add the steak. Squeeze out any air, seal the bag, and place in a shallow dish to contain any leaks.

Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.

Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan to medium heat.

Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade.

Grill, turning once, until the desired temperature is reached. For this large cut of meat, I recommend cooking to medium rare (135 degrees) and allowing the meat to rest for 5 minutes once taken off the grill to allow the juices to redistribute.

Off the grill, the meat will continue to cook slightly, raising the temperature to medium (140 degrees).

To serve, thinly slice against the grain.

Serving size is 3 ounces of cooked beef; makes six servings.

NOTE: The nutrition info is calculated for half the marinade as the other half is discarded.

     I thought this was very good. The only change I made was that I added the zest of the citrus fruit (no reason to waste it!), and marinaded for 4 hours. Very moist, flavorful, and tasty. Thanks! - 8/30/10

     This is really good! For even more flavor, I marinate the flank steak before I freeze it (if you're freezing), then let it thaw in the marinade. Yummy! - 1/18/12

     Haven't tried this yet, but will. For those who have never prepared a flank steak, the picture shown is not what it looks like. It's typically a long, flat piece of beef. It is very good and well worth a try, just don't expect the fat juicy steak shown above. - 1/18/13

     Picture does not look like flank steak. Since flank is so expencive and never goes sale, I made this recipe uning sirloin. Was delish. - 7/19/12

     This was decent. Some bites had a bit of a sour taste to me. I'll admit I overcooked so it may have been better if I didn't do that. - 2/1/10

     This was good. A bit too much garlic, but a nice flavor after grilling on the BBQ. I was surprised how tender it was. I didn't have a lime so I used Lemon Juice. I too marinated it for 4 hours. Thanks. - 5/27/11

     I used the thin steaks cut for marinating. I used fresh squeezed orange juice and marinated for 6 hours. I saved some of the marinade, reduced it, and poured a couple of teaspoons on top of the finished steaks. I don't know how to do the calories for the topping, but it was delicious! - 3/1/12

     Really enjoyed this. I grilled some onions and bell peppers to serve over the top of the steak. Almost like a fajita - I didn't even miss the tortilla! - 8/13/12

     Very tender! I would add lime zest next time. Not enough lime flavor but it could be because my lime was on the small side. This was delicious! - 8/8/12
  • HOWLERMOM
     Good but I couldn't taste the citrus and it marinated for almost 4 hours - next time I will try to zest too - 9/5/10

     My family doesn't eat much beef, but the marinade sounds delicious. I think I will try this with lean pork and maybe chicken or turkey. I'll add the zest of the citrus fruits, too. - 7/5/10

     This turned out great, but I could only find a 2lb flank steak at my local store, so I needed to double the recipe. - 6/19/11

     Can I cook this steak in the oven ? I do not own a grill. - 1/20/13
  • MEMOM22
     Do not pour the marinade over the meat after it has been cooked, as the marinade has meat juices in it from when it was raw! - 1/18/13
  • NONNAOF2
     I loved the use of garlic and citrus with this, if I'm using citrus in anything, I include the zest for more pizzaz! My adult son loved the taste, we rarely eat steak in the house! - 1/18/13

     Super tasty and moist! A hit at my house for dinner tonight! - 7/2/12
  • CD11959100
     Great flavor. The marinade was extremely tasty and summery. I want to try slow cooking the steak next time and will definitely try the marinade on other meats. - 4/25/12
  • URBANAUDREYE
     This was excellent! Admittedly, I overmarinated... closer to 12 hours than the recommended 4, but there's only so much a woman can do when you make dinner for lunch. But we're all happy campers here! - 1/23/12
