Cooking for 5 people

Ingredients

  • 2 10 oz. ribeye steaks

Marinade

  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 0.3 cup soy sauce
  • 4 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 2 small limes, fresh squeezed
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.5 tsp. ground cumin
  • 3 tbsp. light brown sugar
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped

1 Food Prep

In a medium-sized bowl, mix together your marinade ingredients. Pour your marinade into a resealable bag with the steaks and massage it into the meat. Place the bag with your steaks in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour up to overnight.

2 Grill Prep

Fuel: We recommend Kingsford® Original Charcoal Briquets

Method: Direct-Heat Grilling

Temp: 450°F (High Heat)

3 The Cook

  • When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.

  • Place your steaks on your grill, discarding any leftover marinade. Cook your steaks until they reach an internal temperature of 145ºF.

  • Then, remove your steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing. These steaks are delicious as is or served with all of your favorite taco fixings!

For safe meat preparation, reference the USDA website.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Basic recipe to get you started It's winter but cast iron still cooks the same just without the extra layer of the grill. The recipe for marinade was on target I had to use lime juice concentrate but just using 1tbsp of it vs 2 small limes worked out perfectly. I added a round of ancho, chipotle, taco powder on top of the other spices and the flavor really came through on the end result. Thanks Kingsford! It was fire
