Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, orange juice, garlic, jalapeño, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, pepper, and salt.
Place the steak in a large ziplock bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
Preheat grill to high heat. Remove steak from marinade and let any excess drip off.
Grill steak for 5-7 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness.
Remove from grill and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
Serve with tortillas, salsa, or your favorite side dishes.

Notes

Marinate the steak overnight for maximum flavor.
Use freshly squeezed citrus juice for the best taste.
Can be cooked on a stovetop grill pan if an outdoor grill is unavailable.
