Instructions

Add all the ingredients except for the steak into a mixing bowl.
Whisk until well combined.
Add the flank steak to a food storage container, then pour the marinade over the top. Place the lid on and shake, making sure all parts of the meat are coated in the marinade.
Marinate for 2-4 hours, no longer than 4 hours otherwise the citrus will start to cook the steak and affect the texture.
Allow the steak to sit at room temperature 20-30 minutes before grilling it. This helps to ensure even cooking throughout the steak.
Preheat your grill and cook the steak for 8-10 minutes per side, depending on the thickness and the level of doneness that you prefer. I grilled mine to medium rare and pulled it off at 125°F when checked with a meat thermometer. See the temperatures/degrees of doneness chart in the post for your preference.
Slice into thin strips against the grain of the steak. Slicing against the grain will give you the most tender pieces. Serve in tacos, over a salad or with your favorite low carb sides.
