Guajillo Piloncillo Marinated Steak

Guajillo Piloncillo Marinated Steak

Mi carino loves to grill.  So when Wal-Mart and Latina Mom Bloggers asked us to create an original steak recipe to help spread the word of their Steak Over Challenge, where local firefighters compete for top Grill honors, we happily accepted.  Fun!

Texans love Beef! And we love to Grill! Let’s do it!

When we hit the kitchen we knew there was going to be chile in our marinade, we have to have chile.  Piloncillo adds sweetness while it helps to keep the beef tender.

He heated the grill, I marinated the steaks, whipped a few onion rings and we were set. Grill time!

We grabbed a few cold ones, set the table and dinner was served.
