Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup teriyaki marinade
- 1 serrano chili, finely chopped
- 1 lime, zested
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 pound steak (your choice of cut, such as flank or sirloin)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the teriyaki marinade, minced garlic, chopped serrano chili, lime zest, fresh lime juice, and sesame oil. Stir the mixture well to ensure all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
-
Marinate the Steak: Place the steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring that it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and penetrate the meat.
-
Cook the Steak: Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard any excess marinade. Grill or cook the steak for about 5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
-
Rest and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and flavorful steak.
-
Slice and Enjoy: Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Serve with your favorite sides or use it as a topping for salads, tacos, or wraps. Enjoy the vibrant Tex Mex flavors with every bite!
