Grilled Skirt Steak with Mango Habanero Salsa

I had a skirt steak marinating and went to Young's Market to pick up some veggies.  I looked at the perfectly ripe mangos and gorgeous colors of the peppers and bought the ingredients for an amazing salsa.
Recipe:
 1lb skirt steak
Marinade:
mix all the following together (I use a plastic bag to marinade my meat)
1/4 cup orange juice or mixture of pineapple orange juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 inch ginger grated
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tsp fresh ground pepper
Salsa:
mix the following together
1 ripe mango chopped in small cubes
2 habanero pepper seeded and finely minced
1 red pepper chopped
1/4 cup red onion chopped
1/8 cup cilantro chopped
1 lime juiced

1-2 tbsp olive oil for pan
Marinade the steak for at least 1 hour. 
Make the salsa at least 30 minutes before serving

Remove steak from marinade and pat a bit before cooking. Keep the marinade and cook it down in a separate pan to serve over steak. Heat your grill to high or cook under the broiler. Brown on each side till doneness you llike.  I like dark brown on the outside and red in the middle (about 3 minutes each side)
Take off heat and let sit for 6-10 minutes before slicing thin.
Slice and pour just a bit of the sauce over the meat and serve the salsa on the side.

I made rice with this but it would go good with potato or pasta too.
My rice was done with chicken stock, 1 chipotle pepper in adobe sauce chopped, 2 tbsp of my favorite tomato salsa with jalapenos, 2 tsp ground cumin and the condiment called BIJOL (It makes the rice a pretty yellow. It is not saffron.).
I also cheated and opened a can of Conchita black beans and just added a little cumin and cilantro to go with it all. 
Not only did it taste great, I am sorry I did not take a picture because it was beautiful on the plate.
Now I am done.  Enjoy.
