Yumm-o

I've been trying really hard lately to plan well-balanced meals for the week because for awhile, we didn't have many home cooked meals {like, none for about three weeks}.

I grew up cooking with my parents and grandparents and I love it when a meal I've made comes out well. {Just not all the dishes after!}.

Earlier this week I found a new recipe that came out delicious and I wanted to share!

Southwestern skirt {flank} steak.
{I eyeballed most of the measurements for the marinade}

1/3 c. orange juice
2 Tbsp fresh cilantro (I just grabbed a bunch and tore it up)
2 Tbsp. lime juice
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 clove garlic (minced) (I didn't have any fresh, so I used powdered garlic)
8 oz. flank steak (I eyeballed it)

Trim fat off steak and score both sides of steak in diamond pattern. Put all ingredients into a bag or Tupperware to marinate for 1-4 hours (I left it in the fridge for about 2 hours and it had really good flavor!)

I cooked it on a grill pan on the stove for about 12-15 minutes {but you could easily BBQ it instead}.

I added steamed broccoli and 1/2 baked potato.

This is definitely a keeper recipe. If you're more creative than I am, a summer/citrus-y salsa would taste really good on top of the steak. This would also taste really good cut up for tacos.

Have you tried any new recipes lately?
