Ingredients

• 4 pieces (8 ounces each) Sirloin or Ribeye Steak
• 4 tablespoons Red Chili Paste
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
• 2 tablespoons Lime Juice
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 2 teaspoons Ground Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh Cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
• 4 pieces Lime Wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine red chili paste, minced garlic, soy sauce, lime juice, olive oil, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and place them in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for best results.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to high heat, about 400–450°F (200–230°C). Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the steaks from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the leftover marinade.

Step 6

Place the steaks on the preheated grill. Cook for 4–5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your preferred doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature, aiming for 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium, and 150°F (66°C) for medium-well.

Step 7

Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 8

Garnish the steaks with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for added zest.

Step 9

Pair with grilled vegetables, a fresh salad, or a side of rice to complete the meal.
