Caffeine Free Paleo Flank Steak with Herb & Citrus Marinade

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, delivering that deep, savory backbone without any soy or gluten — and without the caffeine concerns that can sneak into certain condiments and spice blends. The orange and lime juices tenderize the meat while adding a fresh, zesty lift that plays beautifully against the smoked paprika and cumin. A smart trick in the instructions has you reserving a portion of the marinade before it ever touches raw meat, so you get a punchy finishing drizzle that ties every slice together. Searing in a cast iron skillet over high heat builds a serious crust, and resting the steak before slicing keeps all those juices exactly where you want them. Sliced thin against the grain and fanned out on a board with lime wedges, this is the kind of dish that looks like you put in way more effort than you actually did.
