GRILLED JAMAICAN STEAK

Grilled Jamaican Steak image

Hot and spicy flank steak served as an appetizer. Habaneros set this steak on fire. Ya Mon! Use Scotch Bonnets if you got 'em. I serve this as an appetizer as most people can't handle the heat through a whole meal.

Ingredients

2 lbs skirt steaks or 2 lbs top round beef
1/2 cup habanero pepper, finely chopped
6 tablespoons lime juice
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Slice the flank steak on a slant as thinly as poossible.
Place each piece of steak between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and 1pound until 1/4 inch thick or about the thickness of a beer bottle cap.
Make the hot pepper paste: In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and mix well.
Rub the steak rounds with about 2/3 of this paste and reserve the remainder.
Grill the steak rounds over high heat for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until they are medium rare.
Brush liberally with the remaining hot pepper paste.
Fair warning: I really like hot stuff, and I find this to be awesome. If you don't like hot stuff, don't make this.

Tips:

Use a good quality flank steak for best results.
Make sure to marinate the steak for at least 2 hours, or overnight for even more flavor.
When grilling the steak, cook it over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as rice and beans, grilled vegetables, or a salad.
