Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g beef steak (sirloin or ribeye)
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 piece red bell pepper
- 1 piece yellow onion
- 1 piece zucchini
- 2 pieces chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro (chopped)
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this spice mixture onto both sides of the beef steaks.
2. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the beef steaks and massage it in. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the vegetables.
3. Slice the red bell pepper, yellow onion, and zucchini into thick strips. Toss the vegetables with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
4. Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the vegetables on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side until charred and tender. Remove and set aside.
5. Grill the beef steaks for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
6. While the beef is resting, prepare the smoky sauce. In a blender, combine chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, honey, lime juice, and soy sauce. Blend until smooth.
7. To assemble 'El Ritual,' layer the charred vegetables on a serving platter. Arrange the sliced beef over the vegetables. Drizzle the smoky chipotle sauce over the top.
8. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve immediately. Enjoy this bold and flavorful dish with a sense of ceremony!
