Serving Size: 4

Cooking Time: 90 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Medium lime, juiced
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) garlic, minced
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) oregano, dried
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) cumin, ground
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) adobo sauce
• 4 8 Ounces (oz) beef sirloin steaks
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch pepper, to taste

Steps

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, and ground cumin. Stir in the minced chipotle peppers and adobo sauce until well combined.
2. Using a sharp knife, pierce the sirloin steaks on both sides to allow the marinade to penetrate. Season the steaks generously with salt and pepper.
3. Place the steaks in a glass baking dish and pour the adobo marinade over them. Turn the steaks to ensure they are well coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours to marinate.
4. Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat. Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
5. Remove the steaks from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
6. Grill the steaks on the preheated grill for about 6 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. For medium, an instant-read thermometer should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) when inserted into the center of the steak.
7. Once cooked, let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute. Enjoy your Spicy Chipotle Adobo Sirloin with your favorite sides or as a filling for tacos or fajitas.
