Spice Up Your Steak Marinade

This steak marinade is actually delicious on a variety of meats; however, it is my ‘go-to’ when grilling steaks, with a wonderfully flavorful combination of spices and a bit of red chile infused heat. Furthermore, the recipe makes quite a bit of marinade so I frequently plan my meals for the week so I can marinade more than one meal at a time. Getting more mileage out of my marinade.

If you need a source for good red chile, consider ordering from El Potrero’s Trading Post (Chimayo Heirloom Red Chile) or The Fruit Basket in Albuquerque.
