YIELD: 4 servings.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium orange
  • 1 medium lemon
  • 1 medium lime
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 1-1/4 teaspoons salt, divided
  • 4 beef flat iron steaks or top sirloin steaks (6 ounces each) and 3/4 inch thick
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup julienned peeled jicama
  • 1 medium mango, peeled and cubed

Instructions

  • 1. Cut orange, lemon and lime crosswise in half; squeeze juice from fruits. Stir in honey and salt. Pour 1/3 cup marinade into a bowl or shallow dish. Add steaks and turn to coat. Refrigerate at least 3 hours, turning once. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.

  • 3. Add water and reserved marinade. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced to 3 tablespoons, 10-12 minutes. Add jicama and mango; heat through. Serve with steaks. If desired, garnish with orange, lemon or lime slices.
