Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ribeye steak
• 3 tablespoons Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 3 teaspoons Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

In a blender or food processor, combine chipotle peppers, olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the ribeye steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are well coated on all sides.

Step 3

Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to fully infuse into the meat.

Step 4

Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before grilling to bring them to room temperature.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 450°F (232°C).

Step 6

Once heated, place the steaks on the grill. Cook the steaks for about 6-8 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time to your preferred level of doneness.

Step 7

Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute within the meat.

Step 8

Slice the steak against the grain and serve, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro.
