So... how about steak tips, in an Anaheim chili and orange juice marinade? What a chemist can imagine, can make a wonderful thing for the palette.
So, dried Anaheim chilis, chopped in the food processor (I have a "magic bullet")... add orange juice, and some crushed garlic cloves, pepper, and a touch of honey (yea, honey!). Marinade overnight. Check!
The grill calls, mis amigos, y cocinero... |
Sunday evening I treated my wife and I to a couple of rib eye steaks.
I never let any marinate touch my steak before cooking. It takes away from the flavor of the beef.
But I do make a marinate bath that I dip the steak into at the first turn.
It consists of the following;
red onion (large chunks)
Anaheim green chili (large pieces
Kikkoman soy sauce - all other brands are lousy
EVOO
fresh squeezed lemon juice
brown sugar
a little italian dressing
a little garlic powder
and a little Cavendar's
Get the grill very hot. flop the steaks on. wait 3 minutes
pick up the steak with tongs NEVER USE A FORK
bathe the steak both sides in the marinate and return to the grill on the new side wait 3 minutes
while waiting ... place several of the onions and chilis on the grill around the steak.
bathe the steaks again and return turned on the grill
turn chilis and onions
wait 3 minutes (depending on the thickness of the steak)
if the steaks are 1/2" to 3/4" thick they should be close to medium rare (which is perfect)
over 3/4" will take another turn or two.
Serving:
place the steaks on a plate and garnish with the grilled onions and chili peppers
BTW ... I have done this with jalapenos as well. It's a little spicy, but well worth the flavor.
