Nice and Spicy Steak Marinade
If you like your food hot, this spicy steak marinade will suit your adventurous taste buds perfectly. With cayenne pepper, cumin, green onions, and jalapeño boosting the spice level and flavor factor, this is certainly a delicious steak marinade recipe and any spice fans will find the experience of eating this spicy steak something to remember, because it really does have a special taste.
This marinade is simple to prepare. It is full-flavored too, which always works nicely with steaks. Although ingredients like fish normally require subtle seasonings such as fresh herbs and citrus, steak is a bold-tasting red meat so it can easily handle vibrant marinade ingredients which will bring out its natural flavor without overwhelming it.
This tasty marinade is nice if you serve the steak with something that has a contrastingly light flavor such as boiled rice or mashed potatoes. Try a baked potato with sour cream or even some mild homemade salsa with tortillas and sour cream, for the contrast. If you really like fiery food, you can use extra jalapeño or some hot sauce in this spicy steak marinade but you might like to try the original recipe first because it is pretty hot already.
