Directions:

1. Mix orange juice, lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil, sugar, garlic, cilantro, and cumin in a bowl.
2. Place steak and onion, if using, in a gallon-sized Ziploc bag and pour marinade over, sealing and turning several times to coat well. Let sit at room temp for at least 30 minutes, turning occasionally. (Or marinate for up to 3 hours in the fridge, bringing to room temp before grilling.)
3. To make chimichurri, place jalapeno, garlic, and onion in a food processor and pulse several times until chopped. Add cilantro and parsley and pulse again. Add oil, lime juice, cumin, coriander, and salt and pulse until combined. Set aside in a small serving bowl.
4. Place ingredients for pico de gallo in bowl, mix, and let sit for 15 minutes to 1 hour.
5. When ready to make tacos, grill steak on medium-high heat to desired wellness. Let rest 10 minutes, then thinly slice across the grain.
6. Lightly grill tortillas and fill with steak, chimichurri, and pico de gallo.
