How to Make Amarillo Grilled Steak

  1. In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Place the steak (about 1.5 lbs) in a shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the steak, ensuring both sides are coated. Reserve the remaining marinade.
  3. Cover and refrigerate the steak for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, for maximum flavor.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the used marinade.
  5. Place the steak on the preheated grill. Grill for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for your desired doneness. During grilling, baste the steak with the reserved marinade every 2 minutes.
  6. Remove the steak from the grill, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
