Lisas Grilled Steaks Recipes

PERFECTLY GRILLED STEAK

Steps:

• About 20 minutes before grilling, remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let sit, covered, at room temperature.
• Heat your grill to high. Brush the steaks on both sides with oil and season liberally with salt and pepper. Place the steaks on the grill and cook until golden brown and slightly charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn the steaks over and continue to grill 3 to 5 minutes for medium-rare (an internal temperature of 135 degrees F), 5 to 7 minutes for medium (140 degrees F) or 8 to 10 minutes for medium-well (150 degrees F).
• Transfer the steaks to a cutting board or platter, tent loosely with foil and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.

LISA'S FAVORITE CARNE ASADA MARINADE

Steps:

• Combine the orange, lemon, and lime juice in a large glass or ceramic bowl along with the garlic, soy sauce, chipotle pepper, chili power, ground cumin, paprika, dried oregano, black pepper, and cilantro. Slowly whisk in the olive oil until marinade is well combined. Remove one cup of the marinade and place in a small bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for use after the meat is cooked.
• Place the flank steak between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the steak with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/4 inch. After pounding, poke steak all over with a fork. Add the meat to the marinade in the large bowl, cover, and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove the steak from the marinade and grill to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Discard used marinade. Remove meat from heat and slice across the grain.
• Pour the one cup of reserved, unused marinade over the hot meat and serve immediately.

LISA'S GRILLED STEAKS

Steps:

• Preheat your grill to high heat.
• Remove the steaks from their packaging and sprinkle them with a generous amount of the Cavender's Greek Seasoning.
• Put in a container with lid or Ziploc bag and add 1 cup of Moore's marinade and melted butter. Turn to coat well and put in fridge 1 hour or overnight. Turn several times so marinade soaks in well.
• Clean and lubricate your grill grates with some cooking oil on a rolled up piece of paper towel (using tongs, of course).
• Place the steaks on the hottest part of the grill and then stand ready with the tongs.
• At this point, you are on flare-up watch. The fat dripping off of those beautiful steaks is bound to create a flare-up. When a flare-up occurs, simply use your tongs to slide the steaks away from the open flame until the flame dies down and then move then back over the heat.
• Continue to grill with the lid open for about 4 - 6 minutes.
• Flip the steaks over onto the other side, still over the hottest part of the grill.
• Grill the steaks for an additional 4 - 6 minutes on the other side, lid open, for a medium-rare delicious steak. Cook longer for well done.
• Remove the steaks from the grill and allow to rest on a plate for 5 minutes before serving. The resting period is important so that the juices don't run out when you cut into the rib-eye, so be patient. Enjoy!
