this marinade was delicious - i did not strictly follow the quantities but you don't have to - the ingredients are so fresh and the combo is absolutely delicious. also - and most importantly to a member of the instant gratification generation - the steak was perfect after marinading for ONLY 4 hours!!! :)

I did use 1/4 c of the preground cumin instead of the seed as suggested by TeaChef. I also substituted the fresh jalepenos for the jar jalepenos and used about 3/4 cup, because that is what I had on hand at the time. Beware the cilantro, 2 bunches is a little vague for me. Somehow I interpreted this as two whole bunches from the grocery store. However in my area we are blessed with some pretty large bunches. I used about a 1/4 of one of my bunches and it was very thick and very, very green. I was concerned that perhaps I had ruined the recipe, but after scraping off the marinade and grilling my family really loved it. My suggestion is to add the cilantro to the food processor slowly until you get the consistency you like. Good recipe though, easy and well worth the effort.

This was magnificent! Everyone raved. Only change I made was using 1/4 cup of pre-ground cumin since I didn't have any of the seed. The blender was already out, so used it instead of the food processer. I marinated the steak for 24hrs. Served it along with grilled peppers and onion, a salad of chunked cucumber, tomatoes and minced red onion and MORE cilantro tossed in PaulNewman's new Light Lime Viniagrette, and finally AllRecipe's "Sweet Corn Cake" recipe. Umm, ummmm good!

This recipe is awesome!!! I used flank steak and marinaded it for 48 hours, then cooked it on the grill. I did not have the cilantro, but used everything else. The steak was surprisingly tender for flank steak and had so much flavor. I will definitely be using this one again. Thanks for the recipe!
