Flank steak gets a serious upgrade here, bathed in a bold marinade built from coconut aminos, fresh orange and lime juice, smoked paprika, cumin, and garlic — a combination that's bright, smoky, and deeply savory all at once. The citrus does real work tenderizing the meat during the marinade time, so by the time it hits a screaming-hot cast iron pan, you're already halfway to something spectacular. That hard sear creates a deep, caramelized crust that locks in all the flavor the marinade spent hours building. One smart move in the instructions 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. Sliced thin against the grain and fanned out on a board with lime wedges and fresh parsley, this is the kind of dish that looks like you put in way more effort than you actually did. Every ingredient here is naturally free of pork and pork-derived products, so there's no label-reading stress — just clean, whole-food cooking from start to finish.

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.
