DELICIOUS GRILLED STEAK
Plan ahead, for this recipe the steaks need to sit on the counter in the lime/honey mixture until room temperature which might take a couple of hours, do not marinade the steaks in the mixture overnight the acid from the lime will "cook" the beef. The marinade mixture is enough for up to 16-24 ounces in total weight for all beef, for more beef then double the recipe, also the ingredient amounts may be adjusted to taste.

Steps:
- Remove the steaks from the fridge and place in a shallow dish.
- In a bowl mix together the ginger, fresh garlic, honey and juice of 1 lime.
- Drizzle the mixture over the beef and let sit out on the counter until the beef is room temperature (this might take a couple hours depending on the size of your steak, turning the beef occasionally in the mixture.
- Start a charcoal fire or preheat gas grill (the fire should not be really hot and the rack should be positioned no more than 4-inches away from heat source).
- Remove the room temperature beef from the mixture and season with black pepper (use NO salt at this point you can salt the beef after cooking).
- Place the steak on the grill and spoon any remaining sauce over it.
- For rare (steaks under under 1-inch thick) grill about 3 minutes per side.
- For larger or more well-done steak increase the time slightly.
Tips:
- Choose the right steak: Select a steak with good marbling, as this will help keep it juicy and flavorful during grilling.
- Prepare the steak: Before grilling, pat the steak dry with paper towels and season it liberally with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
- Preheat the grill: Preheat your grill to high heat before cooking the steak. This will help sear the outside of the steak and prevent it from sticking to the grill grates.
- Grill the steak: Place the steak on the preheated grill and cook it for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak to ensure it is cooked to your liking.
- Let the steak rest: Once the steak is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bite.

By following these tips, you can grill a delicious and juicy steak that will be sure to impress your friends and family.
