Tampiqueña Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Marinate the Steak

   In a bowl, mix together lime juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Place the top sirloin steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

2. 2

   Prepare the Grill

   Preheat your grill to high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it on medium-high heat.

3. 3

   Grill the Steak

   Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the steak on the hot grill and cook for about 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy (130°F for medium-rare).

4. 4

   Rest and Serve

   Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve with your choice of rice and beans or fried sweet plantains (maduros).
