  • 1 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup garlic (peeled, fresh)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons white pepper
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 orange (sliced)

  1. Mix all marinade ingredients together to combine. Marinate flank steak in the mixture in the refrigerator for one hour or more. Remove the steak from the marinade and barbecue meat until done.
