This recipe not only gave the steaks a lovely flavor, but seemed to lift the heaviness of the beef.A truly unusual marinade which I thought would only work for chicken or fish, but I was wrong.I cooked the steaks, rib eye, in a grill pan on the top of the stove.

Absolutely wonderful! I followed the recipe except I wimped out and only used 1 jalapeno, I just don't do really hot, but I like the flavor of the peppers. The steaks were tender with a lovely lime-pepper flavor. We used rib-eyes about 3/4 inch thick and cooked them on the grill for 5 minutes a side. Thanks Miss Annie, this is definitely a keeper!!
