Ingredients:
1 ½ pounds flank steak or skirt steak
1 cup orange juice
½ cup lime juice
1/4 cup olive oil
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Directions:
- Make the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the Beef: Place the beef in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the beef. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for more flavor).

- Grill the Beef: Remove the beef from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Grill the beef for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
- Rest the Meat: Transfer the beef to a cutting board and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve: Slice the beef against the grain and sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Serve it with rice, beans, or your favorite sides!
