This is a great way to take a not so tender steak and turn it into something fantastic. This round steak is marinated in a flavorful mixture, grilled hot and fast, and carved into think strips.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 35 minutes

Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 pounds top round steak, 1-inch thick
  • 1 large avocado, diced
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/3 cup frozen margarita drink mix, thawed
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation:

Combine margarita mix, cilantro, vegetable oil, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper. Reserve 2 tablespoons of mixture and pour remaining into a resealable bag or non-reactive container. Add steaks to mixture, turning to coat. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight.

Remove steaks from marinade and discard the marinade. Place steaks on a preheated grill and cook until done, about 6 to 8 minutes per side. Meanwhile combine 2 tablespoons of marinade with avocado and onion. Toss until evenly mixed. Remove steaks from grill and carve into thin slices. Serve with avocado salsa.
