Lime-Garlic marinated Sirloin Steak

Recipe courtesy of Chef John Schenk of Strip House

  1. 10-12 cloves garlic, peeled, and lightly crushed
  2. 1/2 cup plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
  3. 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  4. 2/3 cup fresh lime juice (about 5 limes' worth)
  5. 2 teaspoons ground coriander seed
  6. 1 1/2 teaspoon bround cumin
  7. 2 tablesppons chopped cilantro leaves
  8. 1 1/2 teaspoon ground sea salts, plus extra for seasoning
  9. 1/2 teaspoon grounf black pepper, plus extra for seasoning
  10. 1 2-pound sirloin steak
  • Combine garlic and 1/2 cup oil in a saute pan and bring to a simmer. Gently cook for about 4 minutes, being careful not to let the garlic brown. Add the red pepper flakes and remove from the pan and from the heat. Allow the mixture to cool for 1 minute, then add the lime juice and bring black to a simmer. Once a simmer is reached, remove the pan from the heat and por the contents into a wide, shallow bowl to cool. Stir in 5.6.7.8.9. Combined the steak and the cooled marinade in a zip-sealed bag large enough to hold the meat flat. Marinate in refrigerator for at least one hour but no more than 4 hours, turning the bag every 30 minutes or so.
  • Pre-heat the grill to high heat. Remove the meat from the marinade and discard any solids that may be clinging to the meat, and pat the meat dry with paper towels. Use clean hands or a brush to slightly oil the meat, then season it with salt and pepper on both sides. Grill it over high heat for 3 minutes or until charred, then turn with tongs and grill the other side, 3 minutes for medium rare, 5 minutes for medium, 7 minutes for well-done. Remove the steak from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • It's a perfect match with Exclesior Paddock Shiraz

2008年百大葡萄酒之首:Casa Lapostolle Clos Apalta Colchagua Valley 2005


2008年打敗法國葡萄酒榮登百大葡萄酒之首的智利葡萄酒Casa Lapostolle Clos Apalta 2005


全台灣均已售罄,最後6瓶,珍藏2008年Wine of the Year的最後機會!!


Gorgeous aromas of warm ganache and mocha lead to a rich, velvety palate loaded with currant, fig paste, black licorice, cassis bush and bramble notes. The long, juicy finish has great grip and density, with echoes of graphite, dark fruit and mineral. Should greatly reward cellaring. Carmenere, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2009 through 2019. 5,987 cases made. Wine Spectator Jun 15, 2008


撲鼻而來的是濃郁溫暖的巧克力及摩卡的香氣,接著是絲綢般滑順的口感伴隨著醋栗果實、栗子、甘草、黑莓及石榴等的豐富味道。多汁悠長的餘韻強勁堅實,帶有深色水果及礦物風味。在陳放之後應該會表現得更加突出。適飲期為2009-2019年。共產5987箱。


台灣大概就剩這最後6瓶了! 還不趕快來搶!!
