Made this for my husband, who likes steak and spice and it was exactly what he wanted. I couldn't find chiptle chiles in adobo (not very common in Ontario, I think), so I used a smoky chipotle salsa instead, and it was great. Thanks!

I really liked this. Added double the garlic and threw it all into the food processor. My son says its a little too hot but I really liked it. We had it on baked chicken.

Great marinade! I added extra chipotle on mine. I made kabobs with sirloin steak tips, onion, and yellow bell pepper. I served it over rice pilaf. A pound of steak tips left plenty left over for lunch.

I had bought a can of chipotle peppers and was looking for a way to use the rest of them when I found this recipe. It is REALLY good on pork chops! I had half the meat the recipe calls for, so I halved the recipe. The only change I made was to use dried oregano leaves rather than ground, and I doubled the amount. I also used freshly ground cumin from seeds. I noticed that a few of the past reviewers have said the flavour was bland - I wonder if they were using old spices. When you use freshly ground spices it makes a HUGE difference in flavour. At first I was worried I wouldn't have enough marinade, but once you spread it around with a fork, and turn the meat a few times, it spreads out nicely. Keep in mind that it comes out more of a paste then a pourable liquid. I let the pork marinate for about 3 hours, then grilled it on a George Foreman grill. If you do not like things really spicy, than you may not like this recipe for meat as a main dish, however if you slice it up and eat it on tortillas with cheese, sour cream, guacamole, or some other spice absorbing condiment, then I'm sure you'll enjoy the flavour.

WOW!! I just got done eating this, it was fantastic!! The flavors were excellent! I didn't have any limes so I just used a little bit of Squirt soda:) Thank you for a wonderful recipe! The meat was SO tender! I used top sirloin...mmmm!

I feel bad giving this only 3 stars when most other people seem to love it, but I just didn't think it was that great. I followed the directions exactly and it still seemed a bit bland. You're probably thinking how could it be bland when there are peppers in it?? Yeah.... I don't know either. It's not bad, but not great either. Won't make again, sorry - maybe it was just me??

So easy and very yummy! After reading some reviews, I wasn't sure if this would be way too spicy, so I opted to only use one chipotle pepper minced with a bit of the adobo sauce (rather be safe the first time and not ruin the entire steak!). I was marinating one piece of top sirloin (just under a pound) and we loved the smoky flavour. The result was not too spicy, so I could add a bit more next time. As others noted, I am sure this would be fantastic with fajitas! Thanks for sharing.

Very very good. Tender, steak with just the right amount of spice. Let our ribeyes marinate for 24 hours then they cut like butter.

This was pretty good. I wanted more of a marinade, so I added some chicken broth I had on hand and added one more pepper and a spoonful more of adobo sauce. Marinated for 6/7 hours, great flavor, not too spicy.

Good but not great. The spice was definitely there so if you like spicy things you will like this. However, this isn't like a traditional marinade it's more like a paste. Although the flavors are good, I don't think there is a lot of depth to them to use this on a stand alone entree. I think this would be better used if making it for fajitas or something like that. If you want to use it for a stand alone I sugggest adding a little red wine or some beef broth and cut back on the lime and, to balance the flavors, I would add a T. of honey or molasses. I won't use this recipe again (as written) for a stand alone sirloin entree.

I made this with flank steak. Since I only like a little bit of spice, I left out the whole chipotle pepper and only used the adobo sauce. However, there wasn't really any liquid to cover the steak with. I guess it's supposed to be more of a rub than a marinade. I wanted a marinade, so I added 1/4 cup tequila and 1/2 cup of beef broth. The flavors were good.

VERY GOOD AND SPICY, PROBABLY BECAUSE I USED 2 OF THE PEPPERS AND ALL OF THE SAUCE FROM THE CAN. I MARINATED THE MEAT FOR ABOUT 3 HOURS. NEXT TIME I WILL USE THE GRILL LIKE THE RECIPE SAYS, BECAUSE THE MARINADE IS SO THICK THAT IT KEPT BURNING IN THE HOT PAN. I WILL ALSO DOUBLE OR TRIPLE THE RECIPE BECAUSE I ONLY HAD ENOUGH TO COVER ONE POUND OF STEAK.

I added about 4 tablespoons of EV olive oil and used this to marinade shrimp. I cooked them in a large skillet on the stove and made fajitas with them. YUM!! They were a little spicy for me, but everyone else loved it. I'll leave out the sauce from the chipotle peppers next time to make it not quite so hot. Really good on shrimp!

I absolutely loved this. I only had half the amount of sirloin, but did not halve the amount of marinate just to see what it made. I'm glad, it turned out fantastic using all of it, but I like it hot. Too cold to start a grill outside so I broiled the meat and ate it like a good steak. Leftovers are good too! Can't wait to try this marinate on other meats.

I tried this recipe twice. Once as written & I loved it but I agree it was too much for a steak. I used the marinade with skirt steak for fajitas the second time around & I decided to follow Bobby Flays rule of thumb at times is to add a little honey to balance everything out. I loved it even better with the honey added - about 1- heaping tablespoon. YUM-O! I also marinated it for about 4-5 hrs.

This recipe produces a great flavor, but we felt it would be better served with something like fajitas rather than as a stand alone dish. The flavor was good, but not right for plain steak, and my family that didn't like hot things didn't care for it plain either. I do think it would be excellent as a spice for your fajita mix though.
