Ingredients
Chipotle Steak & Marinade
- 1 pound boneless top sirloin steak
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 and 1/2 tablespoons minced chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
- 2 teaspoons orange zest
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
Salad
- spinach leaves
- cherry tomatoes sliced in half
- red onion
- dressing of choice
Instructions
- Pierce steak all over with a fork.
- Mix all ingredients for the marinade together. Place steak in a baking dish and pour marinade over steaks. Marinate the steak for 6-8 hours in the refrigerator until ready to grill, turning every 2-3 hours.
- Turn grill on high heat. When hot, grill steak for 1 minute, then turn and grill on high heat for 1 more minute. Turn heat down to medium and let steak grill until desired doneness.*
Notes
*I grill my steaks on high heat for 1 minute and 25 seconds, then I turn them to the other side and grill the opposite side for 1 minute, 25 seconds. I then turn my grill down to medium and cook until desired doneness. This ensures that you get a good sear on the outside of your meat, locking the juices in and then cooking at a lower temperature until desired doneness. The length of time you grill your meat, will depend on the size, weight and type of the cut.
