Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Sirloin steak
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pepper Scotch bonnet pepper, minced
- 1 tsp Allspice, ground
- 0.25 tsp Cinnamon, ground
- 0.25 tsp Nutmeg, ground
- 1 tsp Thyme, dried
- 1 tbsp Brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Lime juice
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onion, chopped
Instructions
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and place them on a large plate or cutting board.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic, minced Scotch bonnet pepper, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, thyme, brown sugar, soy sauce, lime juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the steaks, massaging it into the meat. Cover the steaks with plastic wrap and let them marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes or in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the steaks on the hot grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Slice the steaks against the grain and garnish with chopped green onion.
Serve with rice and peas, fried plantains, or a fresh salad for a complete Jamaican-inspired meal.
