Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Ribeye steaks
- 2 tablespoons Ancho chili powder
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro leaves
- 4 pieces Lime wedges
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the ancho chili powder, olive oil, minced garlic cloves, lime juice, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir the marinade until well mixed.
Place the ribeye steaks on a large platter and pour the ancho marinade over the top. Rub the marinade thoroughly into the steaks, ensuring an even coating on each side.
Cover the platter with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat. If time permits, marinate for up to 4 hours.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to take off the chill.
Place the steaks on the preheated grill and cook for about 4-6 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for accuracy: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, and 150°F for medium-well.
Once cooked, remove the steaks from the grill, tent them with aluminum foil, and allow them to rest for 5 minutes. This will help the juices redistribute.
Chop the fresh cilantro leaves finely and sprinkle them over the rested steaks for added freshness and flavor.
Serve the ancho steak with lime wedges on the side for an optional citrus squeeze.
