Jalapeno Steaks (Allrecipes)

4 jalapeno peppers, stemmed

4 cloves garlic, peeled

1 1/2 teaspoons cracked black pepper

1 tablespoon coarse salt

1/4 cup lime juice

1 tablespoon dried oregano

1 1/2 pounds top sirloin steak

Combine jalapenos, garlic, pepper, salt, lime juice and oregano in a blender. Blend until smooth.

Place steak in a shallow pan or large resealable plastic bag. Pour jalapeno marinade over the steak, and turn to coat. Cover pan or seal bag; marinate in the refrigerator 8 hours or overnight.

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grill grate.

Drain and discard marinade. (I always pour a bit on while I'm cooking- I also added some of the sme seasoning after marinating as a bit of a rub.) Grill steak 5 minutes per side, or to desired doneness.
