2 chipotle chiles in adobo, minced
1 cup sour orange juice (Mixed OJ and lime juice can be subbed)

Preparation
-
Mix marinade ingredients together. Pour into a a large zip-lock bag. Place steak in the bad and seal bag, chilled, at least 6 hours.
Bring steak to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
While steak comes to room temperature, prepare grill for cooking. If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. Charcoal fire is hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 1 to 2 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then reduce heat to moderately high.
Grill steak on lightly oiled grill rack, uncovered, turning over once, 6-8 minutes total for medium-rare.
Cut steak diagonally across grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
