TEQUILA-LIME FLANK STEAK WITH PICKLED RED ONIONS

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the onions. Then, trim the steaks of excess fat and silver skin. Score the steaks by making cuts about 1/2 inch deep and 2 inches apart, diagonally across the meat in two directions to make a diamond pattern on both sides. Rub the meat all over with garlic and pepper. Place the steaks in a large shallow glass baking dish. 2. In a bowl, whisk together the tequila, lime juice, honey, Maggi, and oil. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the marinade on each steak, and turn the steaks to coat. Reserve the remaining marinade. Cover and refrigerate the meat about 2 hours or up to 8 hours. 3. Remove the meat from the refrigerator about 1 hour before cooking. Have ready a hot outdoor grill or heat a stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Pat the meat dry with paper towels, and season with salt just before grilling. Brush lightly with oil. 4. Grill the steaks on a hot greased grill over high heat or in the grill pan on medium-high heat, turning to brown the meat on both sides, 8 to 12 minutes total for medium-rare, depending on the thickness of the meat. (Adjust cook time for desired doneness.) Brush the steaks with the reserved marinade the last 3 minutes of cooking. 5. Remove the steaks to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes. Cut across the grain into thin slices. Serve with pickled red onions scattered over the meat.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore.
