STEAKS IN GARLIC LIME MARINADE (PALOMILLA)

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except for the steaks in a food processor or blender. Process until the mixture is a smooth liquid paste.
• On a plate or in a zip top bag, combine 1/2 of the marinade with the steaks, making sure the meat is well coated. Let sit in the refrigerator for 1/2 hour. Reserve the remaining marinade.
• Grill the steaks over high heat, 2-3 minutes per side, basting if desired with the remaining marinade.
• Remove to a serving dish, brush with any remaining marinade, and serve.

CARIBBEAN GRILLED STEAK

Steps:

• Mix all spices in small bowl until well blended. Brush steak with 1 T oil, rub in 2T of spice mix. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes, longer for extra flavor.
• Stir lime juice and remaining 2T oil into spices.
• Thread pineapple onto skewers.
• Grill pineapple skewers over medium heat 5 to 10 minutes or till golden brown. Turn occasionally and brush with 1/2 the juice mixture.
• Grill steak over medium high heat 6 to 7 minutes per side, basting with remaining juice mix.
• Slice steak after resting and serve with pineapple.

CUBAN MARINATED STEAK

Steps:

• Place cumin seeds into a small skillet over medium heat; stir constantly until seeds turn dark brown and smell toasted, about 1 minute. Immediately pour seeds into a bowl to stop the cooking. Mix cumin seeds with orange juice, vegetable oil, steak seasoning, lime juice, and oregano in a bowl.
• Place steaks into a large resealable plastic bag, pour orange juice marinade over the meat, and squeeze out air. Seal bag and turn it over several times to coat meat with marinade. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes, or longer for extra flavor.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove steaks from marinade, shaking off any excess. Discard used marinade. Grill steaks on the preheated grill until seared on the outsides and still slightly pink in the centers, 6 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted sideways into the center of the thickest steak should read 145 degrees F (65 degrees C). Let steaks rest for 3 minutes before slicing.
