Orange Grilled Strip Steaks
4 servings
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
Grated peel of 1 orange
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
4 (8-ounce) boneless beef loin strip steaks
1. In a large resealable plastic storage bag, combine all the ingredients except the steaks; mix well. Add the steaks and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, turning occasionally.
2. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steaks from the marinade and discard the marinade; grill the steaks for 5 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness beyond that. Serve immediately.
NOTE: If the weather keeps you from enjoying an outdoor barbecue, these can also be broiled for about the same time. And here's a nice citrus garnish: Cut a couple oranges in half, grill and serve them with the steaks.
