Jalapeño-Honey Steak

1. Season the Steak

Season both sides of the steak generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, ensuring the flavors are evenly distributed.

2. Prepare the Marinade

In a shallow bowl, combine roughly chopped cilantro stems, sweet honey, the zest and juice of a lime, a splash of soy sauce, and minced jalapeños. Drizzle in some extra-virgin olive oil to bring everything together.

3. Marinate the Steak

Submerge the seasoned steak in the marinade mixture, making sure it is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours for a more intense flavor infusion.

4. Grill the Steak

Preheat your grill or broiler to a high temperature. Cook the marinated steak to your preferred level of doneness, with cooking times varying based on thickness and personal taste.

5. Rest and Serve the Steak

Let the steak rest on a cutting board for 5 to 10 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves. Adjust the seasoning with a pinch more salt if needed.
