Bright citrus, smoky paprika, and a hit of garlic come together in a marinade that transforms flank steak into something genuinely crave-worthy. Coconut aminos stand in for soy sauce here, bringing that savory depth without any of the additives or colorings you'd find in conventional bottled sauces and marinades. Fresh orange and lime juice do the heavy lifting on flavor, so every ingredient pulling its weight is something you can actually pronounce. The trick of reserving a few tablespoons of marinade before it ever touches raw meat means you get a bright, punchy finishing drizzle that ties the whole plate together. A screaming-hot cast iron pan builds that deep, caramelized crust that makes sliced steak look like it came out of a restaurant kitchen. Resting the meat and slicing thinly against the grain keeps every piece tender and juicy all the way through. Finished with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lime, this is the kind of weeknight dinner that feels like a serious occasion.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, orange juice, lime juice, 2 tbsp avocado oil, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, red pepper flakes (if using), and cilantro until combined.
Reserve 3 tbsp of the marinade in a small bowl and set aside — this portion has not contacted raw meat and will be used as a finishing sauce. Place the flank steak in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the remaining marinade over it. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours.
