Grilled Marinated Sirloin Recipe

Prep: 10 min. + marinating Grill: 20 min.

Yield: 6 Servings

10 20 30

Ingredients

1/4 cup lime juice
1 green onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped jalapeno pepper
1-1/2 teaspoons sugar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon grated lime peel
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 beef top sirloin steak (about 1-1/2 pounds)

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the first 10 ingredients. Pour half of the marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add steak. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for up to 4 hours. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade for basting.
Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill steak, covered, over medium heat for 8-10 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Baste with reserved marinade during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Yield: 6 servings.

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
