Grilled steak is simply the best. Sorry, not taking questions. The smoky flavor is just so good and the meat gets perfectly tender. Throw a great marinade into the mix (like this mojo sauce), and voilà–you have a main that's stealing the show.
Ingredients:
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1 small onion
- 1 1/2 cup orange juice
- 6 limes
- 3/4 tsp cumin
- 1 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1/2 cup cilantro
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 tsp hot pepper sauce
- 2 lb ribeye steak
- Salt & pepper
1. MAKE MOJO SAUCE
- Roughly chop cilantro
- Large dice onion
- Juice limes
- In a blender, combine garlic, onion, orange juice, lime juice, cumin, oregano, cilantro, olive oil, hot sauce, and salt & pepper to taste
- Blend until a paste forms
2. GRILL STEAK
- Turn grill on to low on one side and high on other side
- Marinate steak in large bag with 2/3 of the Mojo sauce for 10 min
- Shake off excess Mojo sauce and discard marinade
- Place steak on hot side of grill and sear for 3 minutes on each side
- Move steak to cool side of grill, cover, and cook to desired doneness (135°F for med-rare, 145°F for med, 150°F for med-well, and 160°F for well done)
- Remove from grill and let steak rest for 10 min
3. GARNISH & GATHER
- Carve steak against the grain into slices
- Serve with grilled veggies, a salad (maybe this grilled romaine caesar), or any side you'd like! You can't go wrong here.
