Steaks in Garlic Lime Marinade (Palomilla) image

Adapted from Steve Raichlen's The Barbecue! Bible. This is a quick, easy marinade that makes an amazing grilled steak. The key to making this REALLY fast is to use a thin cut steak and only cook it for a couple of minutes on each side. I serve with grilled vegetables and rice for a complete meal. Prep time includes 30 minutes of marinating in the fridge.

Provided by Michael Batt

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Caribbean

Time 1h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ teaspoon cumin seeds
¼ cup orange juice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons Montreal-style steak seasoning
2 ¼ teaspoons lime juice
1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
1 ½ pounds beef rib-eye steaks

Steps:

  • Place cumin seeds into a small skillet over medium heat; stir constantly until seeds turn dark brown and smell toasted, about 1 minute. Immediately pour seeds into a bowl to stop the cooking. Mix cumin seeds with orange juice, vegetable oil, steak seasoning, lime juice, and oregano in a bowl.
  • Place steaks into a large resealable plastic bag, pour orange juice marinade over the meat, and squeeze out air. Seal bag and turn it over several times to coat meat with marinade. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes, or longer for extra flavor.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove steaks from marinade, shaking off any excess. Discard used marinade. Grill steaks on the preheated grill until seared on the outsides and still slightly pink in the centers, 6 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted sideways into the center of the thickest steak should read 145 degrees F (65 degrees C). Let steaks rest for 3 minutes before slicing.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality steak: Opt for flank steak, skirt steak, or sirloin steak with good marbling for a tender and flavorful result.
  • Tenderize the steak: Use a meat mallet or fork to tenderize the steak, breaking down the fibers and making it more receptive to the marinade.
  • Make a flavorful marinade: Combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, cumin, paprika, and salt in a bowl to create a zesty and aromatic marinade.
  • Marinate the steak: Place the steak in a resealable bag or dish with the marinade, ensuring it is fully coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: Preheat your grill or grill pan to high heat. Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, 4-5 minutes per side for medium, or 6-7 minutes per side for well-done.
  • Let the steak rest: After cooking, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
