Emeril's Meat Marinade for Grilling Chicken Thighs and Flank Steak
Planet Green
YIELD 8 Servings
INGREDIENTS
| 1 cup | cilantro leaves |
| 3/4 cup | lime juice |
| 1/2 cup | sliced garlic |
| 2 | serrano chiles, stemmed and seeded |
| 1 | jalapeno, stemmed, seeded and roughly chopped |
| 1 teaspoon | Kosher salt |
| 1/4 teaspoon | ground cumin |
| 1/2 cup | extra virgin olive oil |
| 2 pounds | skinless, boneless chicken thighs |
| 1 2‑pound | flank steak |
PREPARATION:
Method
- Combine all ingredients except the olive oil in a blender and process until smooth, 10 to 15 seconds. While the blender is still running, add the oil in a steady stream until completely incorporated.
- Separate the marinade into 2 separate non-reactive dishes. Place the chicken thighs in one dish and the flank steak in the other. Turn to coat. Marinate meats for 2 hours to overnight.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to high heat. Place meats directly on the grill and let cook for 5 minutes. Turn meats and continue to cook an additional 5 minutes.
- Remove from the grill and let both meats rest. Slice chicken thighs and flank steak and serve with whole wheat or white tortillas, cheese sauce, salsas and vegetarian pinto beans.
