Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) beef steak (sirloin or ribeye)
- 4 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 teaspoons lime zest
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- 2 scallions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 lime wedges (for garnish)
Instructions
In a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, combine lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, ground allspice, ground cumin, black pepper, chopped thyme, and scallions to create the marinade.
Place the steak pieces into the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Remove the steak pieces from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Season the steaks with salt on both sides.
Grill the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).
Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Garnish the steaks with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for an added burst of brightness.
Enjoy your flavorful Caribbean Lime Steak!
