Ingredients
- 1-1/4 pounds top round steak, cut 1-inch thick
- 6 Tbsp. frozen margarita drink mix concentrate, defrosted
- 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 tsp. ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 1 large avocado, diced
- 1/2 cup chopped red onion
Instructions
In a small bowl, make marinade by combining margarita drink mix, cilantro, vegetable oil, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper. Put 2 Tbsp. of the marinade in a small container, cover and refrigerate.
Place the beef steak and remaining marinade in a resealable plastic bag. Seal bag carefully and turn to coat steak. Refrigerate 6-8 hours, or overnight, turning occasionally.
Remove steak from marinade and discard marinade. Place steak on grid over medium ash-covered coals. Grill uncovered for 16-18 minutes for medium-rare doneness turning occasionally. Remove steaks and keep warm.
Just before serving, in a medium bowl, combine avocado, onion and reserved 2 Tbsp. of marinade mixture. Toss gently to coat.
Carve steak crosswise into thin slices. Serve immediately with avocado mixture.
