• 1 teaspoon finely chopped canned chipotle pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Combine orange juice, lemon juice, and lime juice for marinade in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add cilantro, soy sauce, garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, black pepper, chipotle pepper, and oregano; stir to combine.

2. 2

   Slowly whisk in olive oil until well combined. Remove 1 cup of the marinade and place in a small bowl; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for use after the steak is cooked.

3. 3

   Place steak between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound steak with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/4 inch.

4. 4

   After pounding, poke steak all over with a fork. Place steak in the marinade in the large bowl, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.

5. 5

   When ready to cook, preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.

6. 6

   Remove steak from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.

7. 7

   Cook steak on the preheated grill to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-rare.

8. 8

   Remove steak from grill and slice across the grain.

9. 9

   Place on a serving platter and pour the reserved, unused marinade over top. Serve immediately.
