Chipotle Salsa Steak

Ingredients

• 1 beef top round steak, cut 3/4 to 1 inch thick (1 lb.)
• 1-1/2 cups prepared chipotle salsa
• 2 medium limes, peel grated, juiced
• 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
• 3 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
• flour tortillas (optional)
• chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Instructions

Combine salsa, lime peel and juice, and cumin in small bowl. Place beef in food-safe plastic bag. Pour 3/4 cup salsa marinade over steak; turn steak to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 6 hours or overnight. Cover and reserve remaining marinade in refrigerator for sauce.

Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Place steak on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill 3/4 inch thick steak 8 to 9 minutes for medium rare doneness (16 to 18 minutes for 1 inch thick steak), turning occasionally. Do not overcook.

Meanwhile, stir 3 Tbsp. cilantro into reserved marinade. Carve steak into thin slices. Serve with sauce and tortillas, if desired. Garnish with extra cilantro, if desired.

Suggestions

To broil, place steak on rack in broiler pan so surface of beef is 2 to 3 inches from heat. Broil 3/4 inch thick steak 12 to 13 minutes (1 inch thick steaks, 17 to 18 minutes) for medium rare doneness, turning once.
