chili-marinated steaks with cilantro cream
Ingredients
- 4 beef eye round steaks, cut 3/4 inch thick (about 4 oz each)
- 2/3 cup prepared Italian dressing
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/2 cup dairy sour cream
Directions
Combine dressing, 2 tablespoons cilantro and chili powder in small bowl. Combine sour cream, remaining 2 tablespoons cilantro and 1 tablespoon dressing mixture in another small bowl; season with salt, as desired. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Place beef steaks and remaining dressing mixture in food-safe plastic bag; turn steaks to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 6 hours or as long as overnight, turning occasionally.
Remove steaks from marinade; discard marinade. Place steaks on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 10 to 12 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, times remain the same) for medium rare (145°F) doneness, turning occasionally. (Do not overcook.)
Carve steaks into thin slices; season with salt and pepper, as desired. Serve with cilantro sour cream mixture.
