Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Tequila
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Cumin (ground)
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 pounds Steak of choice (e.g., ribeye, flank, or sirloin)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the tequila, olive oil, lime juice, soy sauce, and honey until well combined.
Step 2
Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, and black pepper to the liquid mixture and stir to incorporate all the flavors.
Step 3
Place the steak in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated.
Step 4
Seal the bag or cover the dish with cling film, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours. For best flavor, marinate the steak overnight (up to 12 hours).
Step 5
Remove the steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature.
Step 6
Discard any excess marinade and prepare the steak as desired – grill, pan-sear, or broil to your preferred doneness.
Step 7
Let the cooked steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy the bold and zesty flavors!
