Really easy to prepare with really great taste! <br/>I substituted some regular chili powder for chili flakes, then added a pinch of habanero chili powder to give it a little extra kick. Grilled on high heat, 3 minutes per side for 2-inch thick steaks to get them medium rare to rare. <br/>Thanks Rita for the great recipe.

This marinade was excellent for tuna and for mushrooms on the side. We could have been at a swanky restaurant, it was so good. I did make this twice. The first time we marinaded for a short time (about 30 min) and it turned out great. The second time I left it in the marinade for a day before grilling. That time the marinade was a little over-powering for the fish, so I recommend marinading the same day as you cook. Definitely use the extra marinade to cook down and pour over the fish and vegies on the side. Super good!

I found this recipe last-minute and decided to make it even though it says to marinate/chill for 2 hours. My steaks only marinated about 10 minutes but it was still oh so good! I used a cast iron grill pan (since it's freezing outside right now) and it turned out excellent. The fish was tender and had a wonderful flavor, and the extra sauce was good drizzled over the steaks and veggies. My fiance asked that I make this again soon, with double sauce so we can use it as a salad dressing as well. Next time I'll marinate and it will probably be even better! Thanks Rita L! :)
