Heather, this was a great sounding recipe when I first saw it for our cookout-cookathon. I made the marinade, but I used filets instead of the chuck steak. It was wonderful. I am addicted to lime and cilantro anyway, and this was a great marinade. I will use it again. Thanks for posting this recipe. ;-) -
I made this for my family tonight, and all three of my girls couldn't get enough. Perfect balance of tastes nothing overpowered or overwhelmed. I used this with t-bone steaks, and it was perfect! -
This turned out great, its my family's favorite. -
I really enjoyed the flavor of this marinade. I, too, skipped the jalapeno, but the cilantro and lime combo was delightful. -
This is a good quick marinade. I left out the jalapeno because I didn't have one and added red pepper flakes. They worked well. I would like to try this again with the jalapeno and maybe some more heat. Thanks for sharing!
