Serves: 4

Ingredients
1 lb. beef flank steak, trimmed of fat
1/3 cup orange juice
1/4 cup snipped fresh cilantro
2 tbsp. red wine vinegar

Directions
Score both side of steak by making shallow diagonal cuts with a knife and place in a zip lock back and set the bag into a medium bowl.
In a small bowl, stir together orange juice, cilantro, vinegar, oil, garlic, cumin, coriander and red pepper. Pour over steak in bag. Add the bell peppers, onions and tomatoes to bag. Zip and toss to coat everything in the marinade. Refrigerate for 4-6 hours.
