Ingredients

Scale

  • 3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt

  2. Place steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Coat evenly.
  3. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
  4. Preheat grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Remove steak from marinade and let excess drip off.
  6. Grill or sear for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
