Ingredients

  • 2 8 oz. Sirloin Steaks
  • 1 red pepper
  • 1 yellow pepper
  • 1 sweet onion
  • 1/2 cup tequila
  • 1 lime
  • 1/2 orange
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 jalapeno pepper chopped
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp salt
  • tortillas
  • guacamole

Instructions

  • Heat grill to high heat.
  • Thinly slice the peppers and onion and place them in the center of a large piece of heavy duty or grill-safe foil.
  • Squeeze the juice of the lime and the half an orange into a small bowl. 
  • Add the tequila, oil, cilantro, garlic, jalapeno, sugar and salt to the lime and orange juice. Whisk to combine.
  • Pour about 1/4 of the marinade over the peppers and onions. Fold the foil to seal.
  • Place the steaks in a zippered bag and pour the remaining marinade over them. Allow the steaks to marinate for 20 minutes.
  • Turn half the grill burners to low and place the foil packet on the low heat side. Close lid. Peppers and onions will cook while the steak is marinating.
  • After 20 minutes, remove the steak from the marinade and place on the hot side of the grill. Cook for about 3 minutes.
  • Flip the steaks over and move them to the lower heat side of the grill. Cook until desired temperature is reached (135 degrees for medium rare, 150 degrees for medium).
  • Remove both the steak and the foil packet with peppers and onion from the grill. Allow the steak to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
