Ingredients

• 2 pieces Ribeye steaks
• 2 tablespoons Ancho chili powder
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro leaves
• 4 pieces Lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, combine the ancho chili powder, olive oil, minced garlic cloves, lime juice, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir the marinade until well mixed.

Step 2

Place the ribeye steaks on a large platter and pour the ancho marinade over the top. Rub the marinade thoroughly into the steaks, ensuring an even coating on each side.

Step 3

Cover the platter with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat. If time permits, marinate for up to 4 hours.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 5

Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to take off the chill.

Step 6

Place the steaks on the preheated grill and cook for about 4-6 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for accuracy: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, and 150°F for medium-well.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the steaks from the grill, tent them with aluminum foil, and allow them to rest for 5 minutes. This will help the juices redistribute.

Step 8

Chop the fresh cilantro leaves finely and sprinkle them over the rested steaks for added freshness and flavor.

Step 9

Serve the ancho steak with lime wedges on the side for an optional citrus squeeze.
