The steak was fantastic--the marinade is really special. We also loved the fresh orange relish, although next time I will add a fresh jalapeno to the mix. On my grill pan, the steak took 4 minutes on one side and 3 on the other, but it's a cast iron grill pan and conducts heat very efficiently. Served with the suggested side of black beans (with sauteed white onion, coriander, and lime juice) and some lightly sauted strips of yellow and green summer squash. Felt like the tropics in February.

There was a similar marinade recipe in an ad in the May '05 CL that included 2tbs Montreal Steak Seasoning -- so being cautious I added just 1tbs to this recipe. This was really great, though I'm sure it pushed the sodium count way over the limit. Liked the orange-olive relish and the recommended simple black beans. A little reminder of the Caribbean on a very yucky winter evening.
