Lime and Tequila Marinated Steak

Ingredients

Salt

1 teaspoon, or to taste

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon, or to taste

Fresh cilantro

1/4 cup, chopped

Garlic

4 cloves, minced

Tequila

1/4 cup

Lime juice

1/4 cup, freshly squeezed

Steak (ribeye or sirloin)

2 pounds

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine the lime juice, tequila, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended.
2. Place the steak in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the steak is well coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for the best flavor.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
4. Remove the steaks from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
5. Grill the steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting the cooking time based on your preferred doneness.
6. After grilling, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
7. Slice the steaks against the grain and serve hot, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
