Instructions

In a bowl or large resealable bag, combine olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, orange juice, garlic, jalapeño, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Add the steak and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.
Preheat grill or grill pan over high heat.
Remove steak from marinade and let excess drip off. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side or until desired doneness is reached.
Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
Serve with warm tortillas, salsa, guacamole, or your favorite sides.

Notes

Skirt steak has more fat and flavor, while flank steak is leaner—both work well.
Don’t skip the resting period before slicing to keep the steak juicy.
Can be cooked under a broiler if a grill is not available.
