How to Make Marinated Flank Steak With Citrus Salsa
- **Prepare the Marinade:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup thawed orange or grapefruit juice concentrate, 1 finely chopped jalapeño pepper (remove seeds for less heat), 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon paprika.
- **Reserve Salsa Base:** Set aside 2 tablespoons of the marinade mixture.
- **Dilute Marinade:** Add 1/4 cup of water to the remaining marinade mixture.
- **Score the Steak:** Using a sharp knife, score the flank steak by making shallow, 1-inch diagonal cuts across the surface in a diamond pattern. Repeat on the other side.
- **Marinate the Steak:** Place the steak in a resealable plastic bag inside a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, seal the bag, and refrigerate for 2 to 24 hours, turning occasionally.
- **Make the Salsa:** In a non-metallic bowl, combine the reserved 2 tablespoons of marinade mixture, 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons lime juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- **Add Citrus:** Gently stir in 1/2 cup segmented oranges and 1/4 cup segmented grapefruit. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- **Grill the Steak:** Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the steak on the grill rack and cook for 12-14 minutes for medium-rare, turning once halfway through.
- **Rest and Slice:** Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain.
- **Garnish and Serve:** Garnish with extra jalapeños and grapefruit slices, if desired. Serve immediately with the citrus salsa and warmed tortillas.
- **Optional Broiling:** For broiling, preheat your broiler. Place the steak on an unheated rack of a broiler pan, 3 inches from the heat source. Broil for 6 minutes per side.
- **Warm Tortillas:** Stack tortillas, wrap in foil, and heat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10 minutes.
