Step-by-Step Instructions for Copycat Chipotle Steak
- In a blender, combine 2 tablespoons of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon of honey, 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, the juice from half a lime, 1 bunch of cilantro, and 8 cloves of garlic. Add 1 teaspoon each of cumin, chili powder, and salt. Blend until smooth.
- Take 1 pound of steak and place it in a large bowl. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well coated. Reserve ¼ cup of the marinade for later use. Cover and let the steak marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Heat a large skillet over high heat for about 3 minutes. Add the steak and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until browned. Aim for an internal temperature of 135°F for medium-rare.
- Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-7 minutes. After resting, slice the steak thinly against the grain into strips, then cube for your bowl.
- Return the cubed steak to the skillet over medium-high heat, adding 1 tablespoon of the reserved marinade. Sauté for about 20-30 seconds.
- Prepare your Copycat Chipotle Steak Bowl by pairing the sautéed steak with your favorite sides like rice, beans, or vegetables. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.

Notes
Letting the steak rest after cooking helps maintain juiciness and slicing against the grain ensures tender pieces.
