Directions
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, lime juice, olive oil, chili powder, crushed red pepper, salt, crushed garlic, and black pepper to create the marinade.
-
Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade in a separate container for basting during grilling.
-
Place the steaks in a large plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the remaining marinade over them, ensuring they are fully coated.
-
Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor, turning occasionally.
-
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
-
Remove the steaks from the marinade and discard the used marinade to avoid cross-contamination.
-
Place the steaks on the hot grill and cook for 7 to 8 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.
-
During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the steaks with the reserved 1/4 cup of raw marinade.
-
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
