Easy Grilling: Jamaican Spiced Flank Steak

I do a lot of grilling in the summer, but honestly, I am grilling year-round. Every year, I work on so many grilling recipe projects for food clients, magazines and cookbooks, and my kids love almost anything that is cooked on the grill. Flank steak is always on the top of my list, and I love this Jamaican Flank Steak recipe. The marinade is really fabulous, made with orange juice, lime juice, fresh ginger, brown sugar, pepper and cinnamon. One of my friends tried it, and she told me she only cooks flank steak this way now. Serve this with a tossed salad, fresh fruit or grilled asparagus, and dinner is fresh, healthy and simple.

This looks like a great flavor combination. I can’t wait to try it

Great looking healthy recipe! I can always count on your for them

Using citrus and cinnamon sounds really delish on this. This goes on our weekend lake menu this weekend.

I love citrus flavors with steak! The sharpness really cuts the rich beef flavor. I really love cold steak sandwiches the next day. Your dish looks fantastic!
