Grilled Milanesa Steak Recipe

by

The trick is to get the fire hot enough and dry off any marinade before placing the meat on the grill, as this will give you the deepest sear. Here, the meat is marinated in a garlicky herb paste flecked with pickled pepperoncini chiles, though other pickled peppers will work, so feel free to substitute pickled jicama, red or green peppers, or even pickled jicama leaves.

Heat gas or charcoal grill. Lightly sprinkle both sides of steak with salt and pepper. When grill is heated, place steak on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill over medium coals; cover grill. Cook 8 to 11 minutes, turning once, until desired doneness.
