Make It

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Food Facts

To test for doneness in cooked steaks, use the touch test. A steak that is rare will feel soft and juicy when touched; medium is slightly firmer but still spongy while well done is firm throughout.

Substitute

Prepare using beef skirt steak. Grill 10 to 13 min. or until medium doneness, turning occasionally and brushing with remaining steak sauce mixture.

Substitute

Substitute orange juice for the lime juice.

It was OK- not much flavor- Maybe needs to marinade for eight + hours. I love flank steak but this came out a bit bland.

Awesome! Made for Fathers Day and my husband loved it! Used Skirt Steak instead, replaced the onions & tomatoes with Medium Salsa (only because I didn't have tomatoes on hand) and used 1/2 lemon & 1/2 lime juice and added fresh Cilantro. Would like more flavor through the meat so next time I'll make make more marinade for the meat and let it set for a few hours or even overnight, 30 minutes isn't quite enough in my opinion but still excellent!

Used skirt steak and a jalapeno instead of the chipotle pepper. Turned out delicious, will definitely be making again. Also cooked on a George Foreman grill inside due to lack of real grill; it was still delicious.

Very tasty, juicy and tender for a flank steak. Great flavor, I added two extra peppers in adobo to kick it up a bit.

I made this steak tonight with filets. I liked the marinade, but didn't love it. I'm wondering if the sauce mix would be better suited for chicken? I'm freezing the remaining marinade left & going to prepare with chicken next week!

Made sure we had ingredients after first time we made it, so we could make again when the mood struck.

The recipe is simply fantastic. It has an abundance of wonderful flavor that anyone will love. The steak will be soft and juicy no matter how you cook it. BEWARE!, too much chipolte will be too hot and it will make the steak hard to stomach

This recipe smells delish, but do not go overboard on the chipolte peppers or you will burn your lips off! I didn't even marinate the steak. I just cooked everything in the pan and served with a spoon.

So good! I used jalapenos instead of chipotles. A nice difference to the regular old steak we usually have.
