How to Make Adobo Steak

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin.
  2. Place steaks (about 1.5 inches thick) in a resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade over steaks, ensuring they are fully coated.
  3. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours for maximum tenderness.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375-400°F).
  5. Grill steaks for 10-15 minutes for medium, turning halfway through, or until desired internal temperature is reached (use a meat thermometer for accuracy). Cook time will depend on thickness of steaks and desired doneness.
  6. Let steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
