Grilled Tequila Lime Steak Recipes

GRILLED TEQUILA LIME STEAK

Steps:

• In blender, place marinade ingredients. Cover and blend until mixed. Pierce beef with fork several times on both sides. Pour marinade into shallow glass or plastic dish or resealable food-storage plastic bag. Add beef; turn to coat with marinade. Cover dish or seal bag and refrigerate, turning beef occasionally, at least 6 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
• Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Remove beef from marinade; reserve marinade. Cover and grill beef over medium heat 20 to 25 minutes for medium doneness, brushing occasionally with marinade and turning once. Discard any remaining marinade.
• Cut beef across grain into thin slices. Serve with salsa.

GRILLED TEQUILA-GARLIC-LIME FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Combine the garlic, lime juice, tequila, soy sauce, cilantro, peppers, black pepper and cumin in a resealable gallon-size plastic bag. Add the steak and let marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Remove from the refrigerator and let marinate at room temperature another 30 to 45 minutes.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. Remove the steak from the marinade. Put the marinade in a small saucepan and bring to a boil, then strain and reserve.
• Place the steak on the grill. Cook for 4 minutes, turn 180 degrees and cook for 3 more minutes (to create crosshatch grill marks). Flip and finish cooking for 3 to 6 minutes, depending on desired doneness. Remove from the grill to a cutting board and let rest, loosely covered with foil, for 5 minutes.
• Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately with the reserved marinade.
