A tender, smoky spicy steak seasoned with onions and chipotle peppers. Inspired by Austin Nielson’s “The Ultimate Chipotle Marinade for Steak, Chicken, or Pork”
Ready in: 1 hour 15 mins

Ingredients

Makes: 1 steak

• 1 chipotle pepper in adobo, plus 2 tablespoons of can’s sauce
• 1 scallion, diced
• 1/4 cup diced sweet onion
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
• 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 filet mignon steak (or more)

Preparation method

Prep: 5 mins | Cook: 10 mins | Extra time: 1 hour, marinating

1. Pulse all ingredients except olive oil and steak in a food processor, then gradually pour in the olive oil to incorporate. Pour in large plastic resealable bag and add steak. Seal, turn to coat, and place in refrigerator to marinate for 1 hour.
2. Heat your gas or charcoal grill to high (Here’s how to tell if it’s high: Hold your hand about four inches above the cooking surface. After 2 to 3 seconds, the heat will force you to pull your hand away.)
3. Oil the grill grate, using an oiled rag.
4. Remove steak from marinade and place on the grill. Use these cooking times to cook your steak to medium: 2 to 3 minutes per side for a 1/2-inch thick steak, 4 to 6 minutes per side for a 1-inch thick steak, 6 to 9 minutes per side for a 1 1/2 to 2-inch thick steak.
5. Take the steak off the grill. Let it rest 2 to 3 minutes to allow the juices to reabsorb into the steak. Serve.Note

Recipe makes just over a cup of marinade, enough for 2 pounds of steak.
