Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Steak Better if you can get about ¾ or 1-inch thick.
Steak Marinade Ingredients
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- ⅓ cup lime juice
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 3 Tablespoon dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ Tablespoon chili powder
- ⅔ Tablespoon minced garlic ½ this amount if using garlic powder
Instructions
- Combine the Marinade Ingredients and set aside.With the meat, cut it, if needed, into two steaks.Cut some deep (halfway down), long slits about every inch spaced apart. Each starts and ends about ½-inch from the edge. Place the meat into a bowl or plastic bag.
- Pour the marinade over the meat. Seal it well and place it in the refrigerator. Let it set for about 1-12 hours.
- Option 1: Grilling OutsideDrain all the steaks' marinade from the bowl or bag.Prepare a hot grill. Place the meat on direct heat initially for about 1-3 minutes, avoiding excessive charring. Flip it over, remaining on direct heat for another 1-3 minutes. Thinner steaks lean towards the 1-minute searing time each side.Check internal temp of the meat. If it needs further cooking, position the steaks to indirect heat and close the grill cover. When at your desired temp/doneness, remove and let them set for at least about 5-10 minutes before cutting into them. The meat will have a darker appearance than normal.
- Option 2: Cooking on the StovetopDiscard the marinade and place the steaks in a medium-high heat skillet to sear one side for about 1-3 minutes, managing it to avoid burning. If needed, add a little oil. Flip meat over and repeat for the other side for about 1-3 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to medium low.Check the internal temp of the meat. When at your desired temp, remove the steaks to set for about 5-10 minutes before cutting into them.The meat will have a darker appearance than normal, due to the marinade, and that is to be expected.
- Option 3: Broiling in the OvenPreheat broiler pan (or baking sheet with sides) at 500°F on middle shelf.Discard the marinade and place the steaks on a preheated broiler pan on the middle oven shelf. Cook one side for about 3-5 minutes, managing it to avoid burning. Turn meat over and repeat for the other side for about 3-5 minutes, or when done at desired internal temp.Check the internal temp of the meat. If longer time is needed, you can optionally turn steaks again. When at your desired internal temp, remove the steaks to set for about 5-10 minutes before cutting into them.
