Recipe Ingredients:

Marinade:
1 1/2 cups chipotle salsa
juice and grated peel from 2 medium limes
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Steak:
1 pound beef top round steak, cut 3/4 to 1-inch thick
3 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Cooking Directions:

1. For Marinade: Combine ingredients. Marinate beef steak in 3/4 cup marinade in refrigerator 6 hour or as long as overnight. Refrigerate remaining marinade separately.
2. For Steak: Remove steak; discard marinade. Place steak on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill 3/4-inch thick steak, uncovered, 8 to 9 minutes (1-inch thick steak 16 to 18 minutes) for medium rare doneness, turning occasionally. (Do not overcook.)
3. Combine reserved marinade and cilantro. Carve steak. Serve with sauce and tortillas.
4. To Broil: Place steak on rack in broiler pan so surface of beef is 2 to 3-inch from heat. Broil 3/4-inch thick steak 12 to 13 minutes (1-inch thick steak 17 to 18 minutes) for medium rare doneness, turning once. (Do not overcook.)
