Cilantro-Garlic Marinade {Whole30 Compliant}
A delicious cilantro-garlic infused marinade that is also perfect as a condiment for steak. Please use fresh lime juice. If it's not available, omit it altogether. I used a half of a jalapeño and it was very mild. Use a whole chile or more if you like spicier food. Allow the meat to marinate for about 3 hours to over-night. Use this marinade on flank, skirt or flap-steak.
