Steak Marinade

Char-Grilled Veggies

Method

Steak Marinade

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

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

  2. 2

    Marinate the Steak

    Add the ribeye steak to the marinade, ensuring it is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Char-Grilled Veggies

  1. 3

    Prepare the Veggies

    Slice the bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 4

    Season the Veggies

    In a large bowl, toss the sliced veggies with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 5

    Grill the Veggies

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the veggies for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred.

Cheese Enmolada Roja

  1. 6

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine tomato sauce, red chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, and salt. Stir and simmer for 5-7 minutes.

  2. 7

    Prepare the Enmoladas

    Heat the corn tortillas in a skillet until warm. Fill each tortilla with shredded cheese, roll them up, and place them in a baking dish.

  3. 8

    Add Sauce and Bake

    Pour the prepared sauce over the filled tortillas. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Assembly and Serving

  1. 9

    Grill the Steak

    Remove the marinated steak from the fridge and grill over medium-high heat for about 6-8 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

  2. 10

    Serve

    Slice the steak and serve alongside the char-grilled veggies and cheese enmolada roja. Enjoy your Steak Asado!
