Prepare the barbecue
If you have a charcoal barbecue light it 30-45 minutes before you plan to cook. It is ready when there are no more flames and the charcoal has turned white.
If you are using a gas barbecue, light it up and turn it to the highest setting. Leave it for 15-20 minutes to heat up.
Step 3:
Make the marinade
Add the orange juice to a large bowl. Follow with the lime juice, red onion, chopped garlic, coriander seeds, black pepper seeds, olive oil and combine together well. Place the steak into the marinade and spoon some over, covering well. Cover with cling film. Take it to the fridge and chill for 2-6 hours. Turn the meat back and forth a few times whilst marinating.
TIP
