STEAKS IN GARLIC LIME MARINADE (PALOMILLA)



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.

Tips:

  • To make the most of the marinade, allow the meat to soak in it for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will give the flavors time to penetrate the meat and make it extra delicious.
  • If you're short on time, you can also marinate the meat for just 15 minutes. This will still give it a nice flavor, but it won't be as intense as if you had marinated it for longer.
  • Be sure to use a shallow dish or container for marinating the meat. This will allow the marinade to cover the meat evenly.
  • Cover the dish or container with plastic wrap or foil to keep the marinade from evaporating.
  • When you're ready to cook the meat, be sure to discard the marinade. This is because the marinade may contain bacteria that can make you sick if it's consumed.

Conclusion:

This summertime lime marinade barbecue sauce is the perfect way to add a bright and tangy flavor to your grilled meats. The marinade is easy to make and can be used on chicken, pork, or beef. The barbecue sauce is also easy to make and can be used as a dipping sauce or a glaze. Whether you're grilling for a party or just for your family, this summertime lime marinade barbecue sauce is sure to be a hit.
