Prepare an easy rub of salt and chili pepper for this grilled flank steak recipe that can be prepared in just under 20 minutes. It's delicious topped with the zesty clementine salad that gets a slight kick from the jalapeños. The salad dressing also has an added zest from orange juice that's mixed with the oil, vinegar and black pepper. We placed all the ingredients for the salad dressing in a mason jar, sealed it and shook the jar. It's a perfect way to mix the ingredients and also can serve as a storage container for the dressing if you want to double the batch.
