Ginger-Lime Sirloin Steaks

Need a change from your same old way of grilling steak? This is a fun and different recipe! It has a spicy kick to it - a great way to shake things up a bit! This is the original recipe, however, I didn't add the fish sauce (just can't stomach the stuff) and increased the hoisin sauce a bit (love the stuff) and it tasted wonderful. Enjoy!


Ginger-Lime Sirloin
submitted by Brittany

6 Tb fresh lime juice (1 lime=approx 2 Tb juice)
3 Tb fish sauce
3 Tb hoisin sauce
3 Tb Asian hot-chili sauce
3 Tb peeled and grated fresh ginger
1 tsp grated lime zest
1 sirloin or flatiron steak, 1 3/4-2 lb and 1 inch thick

Select a shallow, nonreactive dish just large enough to hold the steak. Add the lime juice, fish sauce, hoisin sauce, ginger, and lime zest to the dish and mix well. Add the steak and turn to coat both sides. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours, turning meat occasionally. Remove from frig 30 min before grilling. Grill the steak over high heat until nicely charred and cooked to your liking, 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let meat rest for 3-5 min then cut into slices to serve.
