Marinated Steak Chipotle
From John Madden's Ultimate
Tailgating
(Canada, UK), by John Madden and Peter Kaminsky.
This steak is made with chipotle peppers, which
are smoked chili peppers that you can find in the
Mexican foods section of many supermarkets.
Ingredients:
3 pound skirt steak
Marinade:
7 limes (juice, skins, and flesh)
8 to 10 garlic cloves, chopped
1/3 cup olive oil
Lime wedges for garnish
Glaze:
3 Tbsp Dijon mustard
2 to 4 chipotle chilies (canned in sauce or dried and soaked in
water)
2 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp hoisin sauce
4 garlic cloves, minced
juice of 1 lime
Instructions:
Combine glaze ingredients. Set aside for several
hours.
Squeeze limes. Combine juice and leftover lime
pieces with garlic and oil. Place steak in marinade for 3
hours, turning occasionally.
For medium-rare steak, grill over high heat 4 to 5
minutes.
Remove steak from grill and brush glaze on both
sides. Cook glazed steak 1 minute per side, careful not
to bum.
Remove steak from grill, let stand 5 minutes.
Slice steak thin, diagonally against the grain. Pour on
leftover glaze or juices. Garnish with lime wedges.
Note: You can add to the glaze a little of the sauce from
the can of chilies if you buy that kind. You can also add
as many chilies to the glaze as you want, but it will get
hot.
Yield: Serves 6 to 8
