Method

  • Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
  • Season the steak on both sides with the salt and pepper.
  • Drizzle both sides with the olive oil and brush so that the steak is evenly coated on all sides with the oil.
  • Place the steak on the grill and cook for 4 minutes.
  • Turn the steak over, brush half the glaze over the steak and cook for 4 minutes on the second side.
  • Turn the steak over again, brush with the remaining glaze and cook the steak an additional 4 minutes.
  • Turn the steak over 1 final time and cook for 4 minutes more.
  • Remove the steak from the grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  • In a small bowl, add the sour cream, garlic, cilantro, chili sauce and lime juice and stir until combined.
  • Set aside until ready to serve.
  • When ready to serve, slice the steak across the grain and serve, with the slices arranged in a shingled pattern on a large platter.
  • Season the steak slices with the sea salt and drizzle with the extra-virgin olive oil.
  • Squeeze the juice from the lime halves over the steak, place a dollop of the sauce and serve.
  • Place all the ingredients in a 1-quart saucepan and set over medium-high heat.
