Steaks In Garlic Lime Marinade (Palomilla) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 garlic cloves, peeled
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 cup lime juice, fresh is best
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb steak, cut 1/2 inch thick

Preparation

Combine all ingredients except for the steaks in a food processor or blender. Process until the mixture is a smooth liquid paste.
On a plate or in a zip top bag, combine 1/2 of the marinade with the steaks, making sure the meat is well coated. Let sit in the refrigerator for 1/2 hour. Reserve the remaining marinade.
Grill the steaks over high heat, 2-3 minutes per side, basting if desired with the remaining marinade.
Remove to a serving dish, brush with any remaining marinade, and serve.
