1. 1

   Take your flank steak (1.5 lb) and slice it against the grain, at an angle, into thin strips. This helps the marinade absorb better and allows the steak to cook more evenly. If the steak is difficult to cut, place it in the freezer for 10-15 minutes first to firm it up.

Add cilantro , lime juice , orange juice , reduced sodium soy sauce , red wine vinegar , sea salt , chili powder , black pepper , and red pepper flakes , then blend for ⏱️ 10-20 seconds until combined.
