Ingredients

• 2 pounds Flank steak
• 0.5 cup Orange juice
• 0.25 cup Lime juice
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Gluten-free soy sauce
• 4 Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup Cilantro, chopped
• 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 Red onion, sliced
• 2 Bell peppers, sliced
• 12 Corn tortillas
• 4 Lime wedges, for serving

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, gluten-free soy sauce, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the flank steak in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the steak on the hot grill and cook for about 7-8 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time to your preferred doneness.

Step 5

While the steak is cooking, heat a separate pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced red onion and bell peppers. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.

Step 6

Once the steak is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.

Step 7

Warm the corn tortillas on a separate pan or directly over a grill flame for about 30 seconds each side.

Step 8

To serve, place a few strips of carne asada on each tortilla. Top with sautéed onions and bell peppers. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
