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.
