Jalapeño Lime Marinated Steak Recipes

JALAPEñO AND LIME-MARINATED SKIRT STEAK TACOS

Steps:

• Marinate and cook the steak:
• Combine jalapeño, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, oil, salt, pepper, and cumin in a large resealable bag or bowl. Add steak and toss to coat; if using bowl, wrap with plastic. Marinate at least 30 minutes at room temperature or chill up to overnight in refrigerator, tossing occasionally.
• Let steak sit at room temperature 30 minutes before cooking if chilled. Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat. Remove steak from marinade, scraping off any bits that cling to meat; discard marinade. Grill steak 2-3 minutes per side for medium rare. Let rest 10 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain.
• Assemble the tacos:
• Warm tortillas in a microwave, oven, or over a gas flame. Divide steak among tortillas, then top with salsa, avocado, sour cream, queso fresco, if using, cilantro, and onion. Serve with lime wedges alongside.
• Do Ahead
• Steak can be marinated 1 day ahead; keep chilled.

JALAPENO STEAK

Steps:

• Combine jalapenos, garlic, pepper, salt, lime juice and oregano in a blender. Blend until smooth.
• Place steak in a shallow pan or large resealable plastic bag. Pour jalapeno marinade over the steak, and turn to coat. Cover pan or seal bag; marinate in the refrigerator 8 hours or overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grill grate.
• Drain and discard marinade. Grill steak 5 minutes per side, or to desired doneness.

LIME JALAPENO GARLIC FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Mix ingredients together and pour over flank steak; marinate for 1 hour in fridge.
• Remove flank steak, brushing off excess marinade and any pieces of garlic.
• Grill over high heat until rare or medium rare inside, or sear over high heat in a hot nonstick skillet.
• You want to make sure the heat is as high as it will go, so the steak doesn't water out and "boil" instead of sear.
• The grill really works the best.
• Let the meat rest for 15 minutes, slice thinly across the grain.
