Adobo Sirloin

Chipotle chiles, cumin, and lime juice give Mexican flavor to marinated and grilled steak. Perfect for a backyard barbecue. Leftovers make excellent additions to quesadillas or fajitas.

Marinade was pretty good and would be good on fajitas for sure. The only knock is that there wasn't enough marinade sauce to cover all of the steaks.

Spicy, but tasty. Especially good when used to season flank steak cut into thin strips and served in tacos.

Great sauce, but use better steak.

I used three small peppers and it was very hot, but we like it that way. We used this marinade for fajitas. After cooking the sirloin steaks in the frying pan, we added julienned onions and red and green bells and a little water. Perfect with charred tortillas, cilantro, tomato, avocado and for my hubbie, cheese. My husband said these were the best fajitas he has ever put in his mouth and I agree!

Good... but not great. I let it marinate over night, but i've had better marinaded steaks.

My husband and I really liked this one. Easy to make (just takes a little thinking ahead), easy to eat! My first time using chipotle peppers and adobo sauce and I have to say the flavors were just fantastic. We made fajitas with this and served with a side of home made guacamole. Definitely one we'll be making again.

I made this for my boyfriend and he really liked it - said it had great flavor and just the right amount of spiciness. It was very easy - I will definitely be making this again. Thanks!

The steaks were so tender and this wasn't hot like you think that it would be but it is spicy. Love it, it was a hit at our cook out.

My husband loved this recipe. I don't know that it's the best, but I would agree that it's at least a must try. Very flavorful with the cumin, even if you forget the salt and pepper like I did.

This was very very good!!! I used a roast shoulder and cut it in half lengthwise to grill it and then sliced it into strips for us to eat on tortillas (like fajitas) and plain. Similar to other reviewers I added additonal chipoltes and sauce after grilling and squeezed some fresh lime juice on it. For those in my family who like to 'drown' their food (smile) I served strips with guac, sour cream, fresh salsa, and black olives. YUMMY!!! This was awesome and we will definitely make this again.

Yummy! I added a bit more lime juice and probably tripled the amount of chipotles I used. I also used mexican oregano. Using fresh spices in this one is a must as old spices will get lost in the other flavors. It does make a great steak with a nice spicy smokey flavor. I will def be using this one again!!

I love this recipe. I usually triple the marinade amount, then make two days' worth of steaks, because the second day, I slice up the steak sand make fajitas. This recipe must be allowed to marinate at least overnight, though, to get the full flavor. I eat this with the Spanish Rice II recipe, and it is fabulous too!

I made this tonight. I doubled the recipe, probably added more lime than called for, I added more of the chipotle than called for as well. I marinated sirloin steaks and chicken tenders. They both turned out awesome! Excellent flavor and so easy to achieve. I like things hot as does my family, so this was fine. I can see some people might have problems with the hotness though, so be careful when first making it.

This is good. Remember that chipotle in adobo sauce is HOT, so taste it for yourself before you get all willy-nilly on your marinade. I used the full amount and was fine with it (but, yow!). I agree with another reviwer about the lime getting lost a bit, so I would likely add more lime next time. Still great steaks, great idea. Thanks!

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.
