🌿 Ingredients

🧄 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Whisk the Marinade Together
   In a large non-metal bowl, combine citrus juices, soy sauce, cilantro, garlic, spices, chipotle, and oregano. Gradually whisk in olive oil until smooth and aromatic.
2. Reserve a Splash of Brilliance
   Set aside 1 cup of the marinade in a covered container and refrigerate—it’ll make an epic drizzle later.
3. Prep the Steak for Flavor Absorption
   Pound the steak to about ¼-inch thickness using a meat mallet. For extra flavor absorption, gently prick it with a fork.
4. Marinate Overnight
   Place the steak in the bowl with marinade, coating thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours to let the magic happen.
5. Grill Like a Maestro
   Fire up the grill to medium-high and lightly oil the grates. Remove steak from marinade (discard what’s left) and grill 5 minutes per side or until done to your liking.
6. Slice and Serve with Style
   Thinly slice the grilled steak across the grain. Arrange on a platter and finish with the reserved marinade for a zesty flourish.
7. Enjoy the Celebration
   Serve alongside warm tortillas, grilled vegetables, or fresh guacamole. Prepare for silence—followed by rave reviews.
