Mojo Marinated Ribeye

Tuesday, June 27, 2023

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.
