This is one of the juiciest and most flavorful marinated steaks we've ever made. The orange juice tenderizes the protein, while fish sauce adds umami. It's a winner, and any leftover marinade is delicious when cooked down into a savory dipping sauce.

Instructions
- Step 1: Mix together all marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Place the steak and the marinade in a glass container, so that the steak is coated in the marinade. Marinate the steak for 1 hour, up to overnight.
- Step 2: Remove the steak from the marinade (do not discard the marinade). Heat a large cast-iron pan, grill, or grill-pan to medium-high heat. Once sizzling hot, cook the steak for approximately 5 to 7 minutes per side. 5 minutes for medium-rare, 6 minutes for medium, and 7 for medium-well.
- Step 3: Heat the reserved marinade in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer the sauce for 2 minutes, or until slightly reduced.
- Serve: Slice the steak against the grains and serve with the reduced sauce on the side as a flavorful dipping sauce. Enjoy.
