Description

This marinated top sirloin steak is perfect for tacos, salads, or burritos.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds top sirloin steak
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil (like canola or avocado)
  • 4 ounces chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (about half of a 7-ounce can)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • ½ red onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled
  • juice of 2 limes

Instructions

  1. Add all marinade ingredients to a blender. Blend until it reaches a saucy consistency.
  2. Add steak and marinade to a resealable plastic bag or lidded container and shake around until the steak is coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 12 hours.
  3. Heat oil in a cast iron skillet to medium-high heat. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may have to cook in batches. Add the steak and cook until the internal temperature reaches 140℉, flipping once.
  4. Move the steak to a cutting board and cover with foil. Let rest for 10 minutes.
  5. Chop steak into bite-size pieces.
  6. Serve in bowls, tacos, salads, or burritos.

Notes

  • Marinating the steak for longer enhances the flavor.
  • The internal temperature of the steak can be adjusted based on your preferred doneness.
