2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup orange juice

1/3 cup lime juice

Hướng dẫn

Marinate the Steak

In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, orange juice, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, ground chipotle, ground onion, and ground cumin.

Carefully rub the Mexican oregano between your hands to break it down, avoiding the stems, then add it to the bowl and whisk everything together until well blended. The soy sauce provides enough saltiness, but add salt if desired and mix well.

Dip each steak into the marinade, turning to coat evenly. Place the steaks in a non-reactive container, preferably glass.

Pour any remaining marinade over the meat, spreading it evenly. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Grill the Steaks

Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat. For extra flavor, rub a piece of onion along the grates to season them before cooking.

Place the steak on the hot grill and cook until browned with grill marks, then flip and cook the other side until equally browned.

Check doneness using an instant-read thermometer. For medium-well, aim for an internal temperature of 150°F. This usually takes about 6 minutes per side, but cook to your preferred doneness.

Remove the steak from the grill, tent loosely with foil, and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.

Serve

Identify the direction of the grain and slice against it. If the piece is large, cut it in half first, then slice against the grain. Serve as an entrée or in tacos.
