Chili and Garlic-Rubbed Steaks

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"This recipe is for 2 steaks or 3 very small steaks, but can easily be doubled. You can use any cut of steak desired--we like strip loin for this. Plan ahead, the steaks need to marinate for 24 hours or up to 2 days. Also please remember to remove the steaks from the fridge and bring to almost room temperature before grilling. This will relax the meat fibers and create a more juicy tender steak."

This recipe was pretty good, tasty and easy. However, I had a few difficulties with the recipe. I found that it was more of a marinade than a rub, as the name suggests and I found that the meat wasn't overlly tender (it might have been the cut I bought). On the positive side, it was very tasty and made a nice meal.
