Ingredients

  • 1 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • ¼ cup lime juice
  • 5 cloves minced garlic
  • 1-2 jalapeños seeded and diced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 pounds skirt steak hangar, or any cut about 1 inch thick or thinner

Instructions

  • In a bowl combine cilantro, olive oil, soy sauce, orange juice, lime juice, garlic, jalapenos, cumin, salt and pepper. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Pour half the marinade on the meat and mix well. Reserve the other half for serving.
  • Marinate at least 4 hours, up to 24 hours.
  • Get a grill to high heat. Once hot, put on meat and turn the meat every 30 seconds for about 4 minutes or until it is done to your liking (assuming meat is thinner than 1 inch). We recommend medium rare. I LOVE my instant thermometer and it’s my most invaluable tool. Reminder: Rare is 125-130℉, medium rare is 130-140℉, medium is 140-150℉, and well done is 150℉+.
  • Slice meat, pour reserve marinade on, and enjoy!
