Recipe by Ericka Dixon, Photography by Nicole St. John

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Marrow Detroit Flank Steak

  • 2 cups orange juice

  • 1 lime, juiced

  • 1 can Tecate beer

  • 1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped

  • 1/2 white onion, minced

  • 2 dried chile peppers

  • 3 bay leaves

  • 2 tbsp garlic, minced

  • 1 tbsp Falksalt Smoke

Directions

  • Fine dice flank steak, or cut into small strips

  • In a large container, add together all ingredients, completely submerging the flank steak in the marinade.

  • Let sit for up to 6 hours in marinade

  • Heat vegetable oil or beef tallow in a large cast iron on medium high heat

  • Drain liquid from marinade and add the meat to the cast iron

  • Remove bay leaves and dried chiles from the meat

  • After the liquid from the marinade has cooked off, the meat will begin to develop a crust from the sugars in the juices. About 10-12 minutes.

  • Once the meat develops a nice char, sprinkle on Falksalt Smoke

  • Enjoy the flank steak on tortillas topped with cilantro and onion, in a quesadilla, or on nachos.
