BUCKEYE BQ ( FROM BEHIND ENEMY LINES): Chipotle Marinated Steak Tacos

Time for another edition of BUCKEYE BQ FORM BEHIND ENEMY LINES,

With the First Home game of the Season let's start off the Tailgate or watch party the right way.
with a simple & easy recipe for the grill those of you who follow me on Twitter have seen this before,
Chipotle Marinated Steak  Tacos.

Marinade:

4 Tablespoons Fresh orange juice
2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce, minced
1 tablespoon adobo sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 garlic clove, grated
3/4 teaspoon Sea-Salt  ( or Kosher Salt)
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
2lbs flank steak or Chuck steak  ( thicker cut recommend Julianne cut)


combine OJ, lime juice, adobo sauce, honey, grated garlic &  3/4 teaspoon Sea-Salt
& cumin in a Large zip lock bag keep 3/4 cup of reserve for basting. add steak & marinade for at least 30 minutes if you have time I usually let it sit in the fridge for 3 days trust me it's worth it.

Set grill to 350 to get the perfect grill marks you want set the steak at 2 o'clock the rotate after 4 minutes and set the steak at 10 o'clock. wait 4 minutes flip & do same process as first grill marks
make sure your center burner is off because after the marks are set you want to cook the steak on indirect heat until done . internal temp for rare should be 145 for medium 160 well done 170.

Then on a flat top or a pan you want to toast the tortilla's on both sides.



                                     

Remove from grill slice to desired thickness (I recommend against the grain slice) & add your own selected toppings for this I like the use of baby spinach as opposed to lettuce
and the process should look like this when finished



 



Try it Saturday & enjoy while The Buckeyes Stampede the Sooners with your favorite beverage of choice while I come up with something else next week. we might even step away form the grill breakout the crockpot & leave you with the thought of Beer Braised Short Rib Poutine. something tells me Chris Hunt & Tom Adelsberg just had Heart attacks after reading that.
