Steaks in Garlic Lime Marinade (Palomilla) image

Adapted from Steve Raichlen's The Barbecue! Bible. This is a quick, easy marinade that makes an amazing grilled steak. The key to making this REALLY fast is to use a thin cut steak and only cook it for a couple of minutes on each side. I serve with grilled vegetables and rice for a complete meal. Prep time includes 30 minutes of marinating in the fridge.

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except for the steaks in a food processor or blender. Process until the mixture is a smooth liquid paste.
