Eggless Paleo Flank Steak with Herb & Citrus Marinade

Flank steak gets a serious upgrade here, bathed in a bright, bold marinade built from coconut aminos, fresh orange and lime juice, smoked paprika, cumin, and garlic. The citrus tenderizes the meat while the spices build deep, layered flavor — and because the whole thing comes together with clean, whole-food ingredients, there's nothing hidden to worry about. A smart trick in this recipe is reserving a portion of the marinade before it ever touches raw meat, so you get a punchy finishing drizzle that ties every slice together. The steak goes into a screaming-hot cast iron pan, developing a serious crust before resting and getting sliced thin against the grain. That technique alone makes the difference between a tough, chewy result and something genuinely restaurant-worthy. Fresh parsley and a squeeze of lime at the end keep it feeling light and vibrant despite all that savory depth. It's the kind of weeknight dinner that looks and tastes like you put in way more effort than you actually did.
