recipe tips
Make sure the steak is at room temperature before grilling for best results.
Don't overcrowd the grill to allow for proper heat/air circulation while cooking.
Let the steak rest for 5 minutes after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the steak against the grain.
Pair with a glass of red wine or a cold beer.
Be cautious not to overcook the steak. You can always cook it more, you can't cook it less.
Remember, the key to a great grilled steak is a hot grill and not moving the steak too much.
common recipe questions
Can I use a different type of citrus juice for the marinade?
Yes, you can use lemon or orange juice as an alternative to lime juice.
What can I substitute for green onions?
You can use finely chopped shallots or a small amount of regular onion.
Is it necessary to marinate the steak for 6 hours?
Marinating for 6 hours helps to infuse the flavors and tenderize the meat, but you can marinate for a shorter time if needed. It should marinate for at least 30 minutes to get flavor benefits, and at least 1 hour to see any tenderizing benefits.
Can I cook the steak on a gas grill or in a skillet?
Yes, you can cook the steak on a gas grill or in a skillet over medium-high heat.
How do I know when the steak reaches medium-rare doneness?
Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 130-140 degrees F for medium-rare and 140-150 degrees F for medium. If you take the steak off at the lower range of the temperature and let it stand covered with foil it will continue to cook.
Can I add other spices to the marinade?
Yes, you can add spices like cumin, coriander, or chili powder if desired.
What can I use instead of vegetable oil?
You can use olive oil or any other lightly flavored cooking oil.
How should I store leftover steak?
Store leftover steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Can I reuse the marinade?
It's not safe to reuse marinade that has been in contact with raw meat. If you want to use some of the marinade as a dipping sauce, reserve some of it before adding the meat.
Is there a way to make this dish spicier?
Add chili flakes or a bit of hot sauce to the marinade for more heat.
