Bright citrus, smoky paprika, and a hit of garlic come together in a marinade that transforms flank steak into something genuinely crave-worthy. The combination of fresh orange and lime juice tenderizes the meat while coconut aminos add a savory depth that makes every bite feel layered and complex. Avocado oil keeps everything clean and whole-food from start to finish, which matters when you're trying to avoid the synthetic preservatives — like BHA and BHT — that sneak into so many bottled sauces and condiments at the store. The smart move of reserving a portion of the marinade before it touches raw meat means you get a punchy finishing drizzle that ties the whole plate together. A screaming-hot cast iron skillet builds that deep, caramelized crust that makes this feel like a restaurant-quality meal on a weeknight. Sliced thin against the grain and fanned out with fresh parsley and lime wedges, it's as beautiful to look at as it is to eat.

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.
