Mexican-Style Grilled Steak
Ingredients Needed
-
½ cup cumin seeds
-
5 jalapeno peppers, seeds and ribs removed, chopped
-
3 cloves garlic
-
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
-
⅓ cup fresh lime juice
-
1 ½ teaspoons salt
-
1 ½ cups olive oil
-
2 bunches cilantro (leaves and stems)
-
1 (3 pound) skirt or flank steak
Instructions
-
In a medium skillet, toast the cumin seeds over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes, or until they become aromatic.
-
In a blender, combine the toasted cumin seeds, jalapenos, garlic, pepper, lime juice, and salt. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped. Add the oil and cilantro, and blend until smooth.
-
Score both sides of the steak lightly with a knife to help the marinade absorb. Place the steak in a large ziplock bag or bowl, pour the marinade over the top, and make sure the steak is fully coated. Refrigerate and marinate for 24 to 48 hours.
-
Preheat your grill to high heat and lightly oil the grate.
-
Remove the steak from the marinade and discard any leftover marinade. Grill the steak for 1 to 2 minutes per side to get a nice sear. Lower the heat and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until the steak reaches your preferred level of doneness.
