Dairy 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 savory depth without any dairy or gluten concerns — and they pair beautifully with fresh orange and lime juice to tenderize the meat as it soaks. A smart move in this recipe is reserving a few tablespoons of the marinade before it ever touches raw meat, so you end up with a punchy finishing sauce that ties every slice together. The steak gets seared in a screaming-hot cast iron pan until a deep, caramelized crust forms — the kind that makes the whole kitchen smell incredible. Resting the meat before slicing against the grain keeps every bite juicy rather than tough. A scatter of fresh parsley and a squeeze of lime at the end keeps things bright and herbaceous. It's the kind of weeknight dinner that looks and tastes like you put in way more effort than you actually did.
