Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Blue Plate® Mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons chipotle adobo (the sauce from a can of chipotles) or 1 chipotle, minced
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon guajillo chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh lime juice

Directions
- Prepare marinade: Combine mayonnaise, chipotle adobo, garlic, Worcestershire, guajillo powder and lime juice and mix well. Set aside 1 tablespoon of the marinade for serving.
- Coat the steak with remaining 2 tablespoons of the marinade. Let the steak stand in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
- Remove the steak from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature. Transfer to a platter and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill the steak for 4 to 5 minutes, then turn over and continue to cook 3 to 5 minutes for medium rare (an internal temperature of 135 ℉), 5 to 7 minutes for medium (140℉), or 8 to 10 minutes for medium well (150℉). When done, remove from grill and allow the steak to rest for at least 5 minutes before carving.
- Carve the steak into strips and serve with grilled vegetables and tortillas. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon marinade and garnish with lime wedges and cilantro.
