How to Make Ray's Tequila Marinade For Steak

In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup tequila, 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
Place steak(s) in a large resealable zip-top bag. Pour marinade over steak, ensuring it's fully coated. Seal the bag, pressing out excess air.
Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, for optimal flavor infusion.
Remove steak from refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling to allow it to come to room temperature.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill steak for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the steak reaches your preferred internal temperature.
Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
