MEXICAN STEAK MARINADE This Mexican-style marinade is customarily used for lesser cuts like flank or skirt steak, but if you're ever in a south-of-the-border mood, you might give it a try with just about any steak:
1/4 cup fresh orange juice juice of 1 lime 1 tablespoon chopped garlic 2 teaspoons ground cumin 1 teaspoon chili powder dash hot-pepper sauce 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves salt and pepper to taste (To fashion this into a Mexican steak sandwich, use the skirt or flank cut and slice diagonally across the grain into serving pieces before grilling. Slice and toast "peasant-style" bread and make sandwiches with the meat, a thin spread of refried beans, shredded lettuce, tomato slices and a little coarsely mashed avocado.)
