1 In blender, place marinade ingredients. Cover and blend until mixed. Pierce beef with fork several times on both sides. Pour marinade into shallow glass or plastic dish or resealable food-storage plastic bag. Add beef; turn to coat with marinade. Cover dish or seal bag and refrigerate, turning beef occasionally, at least 6 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
2 Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Remove beef from marinade; reserve marinade. Cover and grill beef over medium heat 20 to 25 minutes for medium doneness, brushing occasionally with marinade and turning once. Discard any remaining marinade.

Expert Tips

Piercing the meat with the tines of a fork helps the marinade penetrate the meat.

No tequila? Just use extra lime juice.

Absolutely loved it on CHICKEN instead of steak. I don't like steak to begin with... Boneless, skinless in the oven-AMAZING!

This is the second time I am using this recipe, my family loves it. It is a great base marinade that you could use for several different varieties of beef steak.
