Cilantro lime marinade on flank steak with cast iron green beans. iPhone photos included.
permalink nebrivI figured I’d post some of the food I’ve made on here as well, because 1, I’m not posting nearly as much as I want to, and 2, I don’t really have much to post about currently. I’ve just been working a lot and trying to enjoy my summer as much as possible before beginning my final year at college.
Anyways, I’ve been wanting to marinate a steak in a cilantro lime sauce for a while. I personally really like cilantro and I think it really gives a good fresh flavor when used appropriately. So I found a few recipes online and combined them. The result is basically: cilantro (maybe a cup or so), about 5-6 limes worth of juice, I used jalapeno and poblano peppers (most recipes had Serrano peppers, but I couldn’t find them), salt, pepper and I added a touch of vinegar for a little more acid to help tenderize the flank steak.
I then tossed some green beans in a cast iron (my favorite!) with some garlic and onion and cooked until tender and the garlic was a little crispy.
Yes, the pictures were taken with my iPhone, I didn’t feel like getting my camera and letting my meal get cold - oh, and it was delicious.
