A lime juice marinade really perks up these grilled steaks, and the snappy, light citrus salsa is a super change from the usual heavy steak sauce. I brighten up winter meals by broiling the meat and serving it this way. —Kathleen Smith, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Directions

  1. In a shallow dish, combine the first six ingredients; add beef. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
  2. Drain and discard marinade. Broil or grill steak, uncovered, over medium heat for 4-6 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°).
  3. Combine salsa ingredients in a bowl. Cut steak across the grain into thin slices. Serve with salsa.
