Boil marinade for 3 to 4
minutes until thickened slightly.
Grill steak for 5 to 6 minutes

to 5 minutes a side.
Chipotle
peppers can be found
in our online store and usually in an international section of your
local supermarkets or specialty
stores. You can substitute chipotle peppers for jalapeno
peppers.
