Garlic Cilantro Marinated Grilled NY Steaks
A fresh garlic and cilantro marinade ramps up the flavor of your favorite steaks and keeps them nice and juicy on the grill.
Equipment
- Barbecue grill
- large Ziplock baggies
Ingredients
- 1 bunch fresh Cilantro, roughly chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ⅔ cup lemon or lime juice
- 1 cup olive oil
- 1 cup water
- 2 tsp Kosher salt
- 2 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp sugar
- 6 bone-in New York steaks
Instructions
- Combine chopped cilantro, minced garlic, lime juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, sugar, and water. Stir to combine.
- Place steaks in a large ziplock bag and add marinade. Reserve about a ½ cup to use for basting the steaks when they are grilled.
- Seal bag, squeezing out excess air.
- Place in the refrigerator and allow steaks to marinate overnight. Turn bag once or twice during marinating time to ensure steaks are completely coated with the marinade.
- Remove steaks from bag and discard marinade in the bag.
- Grill steaks on a barbecue grill to desired doneness, basting with reserved marinade. Cook time will vary depending on the thickness of the steaks.
- Remove from heat when steaks reach an internal temperature of 130℉, for medium doneness.
- Allow steaks to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
Notes
You can easily halve the marinade if you aren't cooking up a lot of steaks.
