Grilled Steak Santa Fe
Frozen margarita mix is the secret to this great tasting steak.

Prep: 10 minute
Refrigerate: 6-8 hours or overnight
Cook: 20 minutes
Servings: Serves 4

1-1/4 pounds top round steak, cut 1-inch thick

6 Tbsp. frozen margarita drink mix concentrate, defrosted

2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro

2 Tbsp. vegetable oil

4 cloves garlic, crushed

2 tsp. ground cumin

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

1 large avocado, diced

1/2 cup chopped red onion

	In a small bowl, make marinade by combining margarita drink mix, cilantro, vegetable oil, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper. Put 2 Tbsp. of the marinade in a small container, cover and refrigerate.
	Place the beef steak and remaining marinade in a resealable plastic bag. Seal bag carefully and turn to coat steak. Refrigerate 6-8 hours, or overnight, turning occasionally.
	Remove steak from marinade and discard marinade. Place steak on grid over medium ash-covered coals. Grill uncovered for 16-18 minutes for medium-rare doneness turning occasionally. Remove steaks and keep warm.
	Just before serving, in a medium bowl, combine avocado, onion and reserved 2 Tbsp. of marinade mixture. Toss gently to coat.
	Carve steak crosswise into thin slices. Serve immediately with avocado mixture.
