Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup Orange Juice
  • 2 Lemons Juiced
  • 2 Limes Juiced
  • 2 1/2 tbsp Soy Sauce Low Sodium

  • 1 Jalapeno
  • 2 tbsp White Vinager
  • 1 lb Flap Steak

Instructions

  • Chop the jalapeno in half and remove seeds

  • Place meat in a glass or ceramic bowl, pour the marinade over the meat. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap. Place in the fridge and let it marinate for a minimum of 2 hours or up to 24.
  • Remove meat from fridge about an hour before cooking to let it come to room temperature.
  • Grill Pan Instructions: Place pan on the stove and set to high heat. Add a little oil to the pan and place the meat on the hot pan. The meat will cook quickly so keep close watch. Cook the meat for 1-3 minutes on each side
  • Outdoor Grill Instructions: Turn your grill to high heat. Drizzle a little bit of olive oil on the ranchera meat and cook for about 1-3 minutes each side, until nicely seared.
  • Remove from heat and let the meat rest for about 10 minutes. Slice meat against the grain and serve!
