Hot and spicy flank steak served as an appetizer. Habaneros set this steak on fire. Ya Mon! Use Scotch Bonnets if you got 'em. I serve this as an appetizer as most people can't handle the heat through a whole meal.

Day 1: Select or have your butcher hand cut 4 (12 ounce) top sirloin steaks. Place 4 cups of well-stirred marinade into a container. (Marinade must be at a temperature of 34 to 40 degrees before adding steaks. This will prohibit bacteria growth and possible food borne illnesses.) Note: Pour marinade into container first before adding steaks so steaks can float throughout marinade. Drop 4 top sirloin steaks into marinade. Day 2: Take lid off steaks and stir very well with gloved hands from bottom to top. Day 3: Take lid off steaks and stir very well with gloved hands from bottom to top. Day 4 & 5: Steaks are finished marinating. Steaks must marinate a minimum of 72 hours before being used. Keep steaks in its original container and marinate until you are ready to grill.

Cook steak half-way to desired doneness, flip and finish cooking. Place steak on dinner plate, hot side up. Brush with steak butter and sprinkle with butter. Put aside extra UNUSED marinade to be used as a dipping sauce during presentation. Do NOT use marinade that marinated the meat.

Tips:

- Tenderize the steak by marinating it in a mixture of citrus juice, herbs, and spices for at least 30 minutes. - Ensure the steak is cooked over medium heat to retain its taste and tenderness. - Use a meat thermometer to ensure the steak reaches the desired internal temperature. - Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful and succulent steak. - Experiment with different types of steak cuts, such as flank steak, skirt steak, or tenderloin, to find the one that best suits your taste and budget. - Customize the marinade to your liking by adding additional herbs, spices, or sauces. - Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a refreshing salad.
