This is such a GREAT summer meal....it's so refreshing with the mango salsa. We had some corn on the cob on the side and it all tasted ridiculously amazing!!


Grilled Steak Tacos with Mango Salsa

Marinade:

1/4 c. orange juice (juice of 1 orange)
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
2 Tbsp. honey
1 1/2 tsp. orange zest
1.2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2-2 Tbsp. chili powder (depending on desired heat)
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp. oregano

1 1/2-2 lbs. flank steak
uncooked tortillas

Mix all of the marinade ingredients together. Score steak in 1 inch intervals. Place steak and marinade in a resealable bag. Allow to marinate for at least 4 hours. Remove steak from bag and discard marinade. Place on grill over medium heat. Grill for 10-15 minutes per side, or to desired doneness, I cooked mine for 12 minutes on each side and it ended up being perfect (med)!! Remove from grill and cover for 5 minutes. Cut in thin slices against the grain. Place in cooked, uncooked tortillas Ü and top with mango salsa!!

1 mango. diced
1/4-1/3 c. red onion. finely diced
