Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds flank steak must be grass fed and grass finished
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 the juice of a grapefruit
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 1/3 cup reduced sodium / gluten free soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1/3 cup vinegar of choice prefer red or rice wine vinegars

Equipment

  • Grill

Method
 

  1. In a bowl combine all ingredients above except steak
  2. Pour marinade over steak and let rest for at least 4 hours (I prefer all day or overnight)
  3. Take out of fridge approximately 45 minutes before grilling to take some of chill off the meat. This will make it more tender.
  4. Grill on medium high heat for about 5 - 6 minutes on each side
  5. Let rest for at least 5 minutes (this is key for keeping it tender)
  6. Slice against the grain and serve
  7. Best served with potatoes and veggies
  8. Extra tip - make the marinade and double it. Reserve 1/4-1/2 of it (that is not used to marinate the steak with) to pour over the steak right after it comes off the grill. Can garnish with extra cilantro or some pink Himalayan sea salt.
