Chipotle Marinade (see recipe below) Prepare Chipotle Marinade. In a non-reactive baking dish or a resealable plastic bag, add the steaks and the Chipotle Marinade. Refrigerate 3 to 4 hours or overnight. Meanwhile, prepare the Mango Salsa. Remove steaks from refrigeration 1 hour before cooking and wipe excess marinade off the steaks. When you are ready to grill, preheat barbecue grill. Place steaks onto hot grill. Season the steaks liberally with salt and grill to the desired degree of doneness, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side for medium rare. Use a meat thermometer to test for doneness: Rare - 120°F When the steaks are crusty-charred and done to your liking, remove from the grill and let sit 15 minutes before serving (meat temperature will rise 5 to 10 degrees after it is removed from the oven). Serve steaks with prepared Mango Salsa. Makes 4 servings.
Chipotle Marinade: 3 tablespoons canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, finely minced* 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (2 medium limes) 1 tablespoon honey 1 tablespoon minced garlic ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves Pinch of salt
* Chipotle chiles - dried, smoked jalapenos - can be purchased dried
or canned in a spicy adobo sauce. Since dried chiles need to be rehydrated for
20 minutes in warm water, I prefer the convenience of canned-and the adobo
sauce is extremely flavorful.
Mango Salsa: 1 to 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro leaves Juice of 1 lime Salt to taste In a medium-size bowl, combine the diced mangoes, black beans, bell pepper, scallions, jalapeno chile, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt.
