Jalapeño Marinade for Sizzling Hot Steak
Ingredients -
3 boneless rib steaks, 20 oz each, trimmed of outer fat
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
Freshly ground black pepper
Cooking spray
1 clove garlic, minced
2 green onions, sliced
1 jalapeño, seeded and sliced
½ cup soy sauce
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
Preparation:
Combine the lemon juice, cumin, soy sauce, green onions, oil, cayenne, garlic, pepper, and jalapeño in a glass bowl.
Add the steaks, cover, and marinate for 2 hours in the refrigerator or 30 minutes at room temperature.
Turn the meat once or twice and, if refrigerated, allow to return to room temperature before grilling.
Prepare a grill to hot and spray the grill rack with the cooking spray while it is still warming up.
Discard the steak marinade and grill the steak, covered, for 10 to 12 minutes.
Turn and grill, covered, for another 10 to 12 minutes for medium rare.
Let the meat rest for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cutting board and carve.
