Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons orange juice
• ¼ cup water
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• 1 ½ teaspoons grated orange zest
• ½ cup blood orange marmalade
• ¼ cup prepared mojo criollo dressing
• 2 pounds beef chuck steak

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Mix marmalade, water, soy sauce, mojo criollo dressing, brown sugar, orange juice, ginger, garlic powder, and orange zest in a bowl. Measure 1 cup marinade and pour into a large resealable plastic bag; add beef to bag. Seal bag and turn beef inside bag to coat completely. Marinate in refrigerator, turning occasionally, for at least 8 hours to overnight. Cover bowl with remaining marinade and refrigerate.

Step 3

Remove beef from marinade; discard used marinade.

Step 4

Grill beef on the preheated grill, basting frequently with reserved marinade, until desired doneness is reached, 5 to 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
