Sauce
- 1⁄2 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons minced chipotle chiles in adobo
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown mustard
- 1⁄2 cup fresh lime juice (about 4 limes)
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1⁄4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt (to taste)
- pepper
- grilled sweet red onion (to garnish)
- red bell pepper (to garnish)
- yellow bell pepper (to garnish)
directions
- To make meat: Carefully trim steak of any fat.
- Mix together chipotle, garlic, cilantro, oil, wine and soy sauce; pour over steak. Cover and refrigerate 4 to 6 hours or overnight, turning occasionally. I always marinate overnight for the best flavor. To make sauce: In food processor, briefly blend honey, chipotle, vinegar, mustard, lime juice, garlic, cumin, allspice, cilantro and salt. Set aside. Correct seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Prepare grill and hot coals according to manufacturer's instructions. Remove steak from marinade and discard marinade. Pat steak dry and grill over hot coals to desired doneness, approximately 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let steak rest 3 minutes before slicing.
- To serve, slice meat thinly across grain on angle and arrange on warm plates with grilled sweet onions and peppers. Drizzle sauce over or serve on side.
- NOTES : This is a great outdoor dish because it doesn't involve any stove-top or oven cooking. Any leftover meat and sauce can be turned into a filling for tacos or burritos.

<p>I spend my spare time thinking of what I would like to make for dinner, from gourmet comfort food, thru Indian or Mexican. I just got a meat grinder and am looking for some great sausage recipes that I can smoke in my new smoker. If it's not cooking I'm thinking of another woodworking project. On the side I like to grow my own herbs. Nothing like fresh herbs to toss in a dish.</p>
