Ingredients:

Serving for 4 persons

• 500g beef steak
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 jalapeño pepper, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

How To Cook:

• Begin by preparing the marinade. In a small bowl, mix the lime juice, olive oil, garlic, chopped jalapeño pepper, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Always feel free to adjust the amount of spices and peppers used in the recipe to suit your personal taste preferences. If you prefer a milder flavor, simply reduce the amount of spices.
• Place the steaks in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them, turning to coat. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.
• When ready to cook, take out the marinated steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes.
• Preheat grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
• When the grill is hot, remove the steak from the marinade and discard any excess marinade.
• Cook steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness.
• Using a meat thermometer is the most accurate way to determine doneness. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the steak without touching bone or fat. The target temperatures for each level of doneness are:
  • Rare: 120-125°F (49-52°C)
  • Medium-Rare: 130-135°F (54-57°C)
  • Medium: 140-145°F (60-63°C)
  • Medium-Well: 150-155°F (66-68°C)
  • Well-Done: 160°F (71°C) and above
• Put the grilled steak on a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes so that the juices can be distributed evenly again.
• After it is well rested, cut the steak into thin slices in the opposite direction (against the grain). Top with chopped fresh cilantro to make it visually appealing.
• Mexican rice, refried beans, fresh salsa, and guacamole are all classic side dishes that pair beautifully with Mexican beef steak. Feel free to get creative and experiment with different combinations to find your perfect match.
