GRILLED TEQUILA-GARLIC-LIME FLANK STEAK
"Flank steak has a large surface area, which means you get more of a Maillard reaction -- that?s a fancy term for browning -- and more flavor," says Guy.

Steps:
- Combine the garlic, lime juice, tequila, soy sauce, cilantro, peppers, black pepper and cumin in a resealable gallon-size plastic bag. Add the steak and let marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Remove from the refrigerator and let marinate at room temperature another 30 to 45 minutes.
- Preheat a grill to medium high. Remove the steak from the marinade. Put the marinade in a small saucepan and bring to a boil, then strain and reserve.
- Place the steak on the grill. Cook for 4 minutes, turn 180 degrees and cook for 3 more minutes (to create crosshatch grill marks). Flip and finish cooking for 3 to 6 minutes, depending on desired doneness. Remove from the grill to a cutting board and let rest, loosely covered with foil, for 5 minutes.
- Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately with the reserved marinade.
TEQUILA MARINADE
This came from Bon Appetit and is just superb!!! I can't stress how wonderful this marinade is!!! It originally calls to be a beef marinade, but I think would be good with pork or chicken, too.

Tips:
- Make sure to use a good quality tequila for the marinade. A reposado or añejo tequila will work best.
- If you don't have time to marinate the steak for the full 2 hours, you can still get good flavor by marinating it for as little as 30 minutes.
- Don't overcook the steak. It should be cooked to an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, or 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
- Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a fresh salad.
Conclusion:
This tequila-marinated steak is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that's perfect for any occasion. The marinade gives the steak a wonderful flavor, and the steak itself is cooked to perfection. Whether you're serving it for a special occasion or just a weeknight dinner, this steak is sure to be a hit.
