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, delivering that savory depth without any of the additives or preservatives that can sneak into conventional condiments — making this a clean, confident choice for anyone keeping a close eye on what goes into their food. Fresh orange and lime juice do double duty, tenderizing the meat while building a punchy, layered flavor that tastes like it took far more effort than it did. The trick of reserving a few tablespoons of marinade before it ever touches the raw steak means you get a bright finishing drizzle that ties every slice together beautifully. A screaming-hot cast iron skillet builds that deep, caramelized crust that makes this feel like a steakhouse meal at home. Resting the meat and slicing thinly against the grain keeps every bite tender and juicy. Finish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lime, and this is the kind of dinner that disappears fast.

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.
