El Tampiqueno Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Marinade

   In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

2. 2

   Marinate the Steak

   Place the rib-eye steak in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 2 hours.

3. 3

   Grill the Steak

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

4. 4

   Grill the Shrimp

   While the steak is resting, toss the shrimp with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes per side until they are pink and opaque.

5. 5

   Serve

   On each plate, serve a portion of grilled rib-eye steak with grilled shrimp on the side. Add a serving of rice, beans, pico de gallo, and warm tortillas.
