Instructions
Steak Marinade
- In a 9-inch by 13-inch baking dish, add steaks and season both sides generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle orange and lime zest evenly over all steaks then add the remaining marinade ingredients. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or at least 6 hours.
- When the steaks are done marinating, remove from the refrigerator. Using tongs, remove the steaks from the baking dish and set aside on a separate dish. Allow the steaks to come to room temperature before grilling to your liking.
Chimichurri
- Add all of the chimichurri ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy. Serve the steaks sliced with a dollop of chimichurri. Enjoy!
Notes
The Modelo beer helps to tenderize the meat and enhances the overall flavor. Just make sure not to leave the steaks in the marinade for too long or they will start to turn gray. 24 hours is the maximum amount of time you want your steaks to marinade.
