QDOBA STEAK MARINADE RECIPE

Steps:

• Add all of the ingredients except for the steak in a food processor or blender. Blend well. If you do not have a blender, mince all of the ingredients and combine them in a bowl.

• Remove the steak from the marinade. Lightly grease the grates of an outdoor grill. Heat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the steak onto the grill and cook until it has reached your desired doneness (medium-rare preferred).
• Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
