Choose flap steak from the bottom sirloin for juiciness and tenderness.

Prepare the marinade with lime juice, orange juice, Worcestershire sauce, dark beer, jalapenos, garlic, and spring onions.

Marinate the flap steak in the fridge for 2 to 3 hours.

Grill spring onions until they are charred and sweet.

Remove excess moisture from the marinated meat before grilling.

Season the meat with salt and pepper before placing it on the grill.

Grill the meat over high heat for 3 to 4 minutes without touching it.

Flip the meat when the sides change color and smoke is present, then grill for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until seared.

Let the meat rest for 8 to 10 minutes after grilling to retain juices.

Chop the rested meat against the grain using a cleaver for tenderness.
