Chef's Notes
Do not rush the marinade phase. The acid from the citrus juices is actively working to tenderize the muscle fibers of the flank steak, so giving it time in the fridge is the secret to a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Pro Tip
When slicing your cooked flank steak, always look at the direction of the grain and cut perpendicularly against it. This shortens the muscle fibers and guarantees maximum tenderness in every single bite.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Dropping the entire zip-top bag of raw steak and pungent citrus marinade onto your freshly cleaned kitchen floor while trying to show off your bag-swirling technique to an empty room.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Why did the flank steak break up with the citrus marinade? Because it felt too squeezed for time and needed some personal space!
The Culinary Science
The citric acid found in the lime, lemon, and orange juices alters the protein structures in the beef through a process called denaturation, mimicking the early stages of cooking and naturally tenderizing the meat.
