Get ready to indulge yourself with a steakhouse-quality dish coming from another one of Kathey Jo’s Kitchen recipes. One of my most sought-after meals is this tequila marinaded steak. I first made this recipe for my husband Rob, who absolutely loved the flavors. The flavors of the steak mixed with the tequila marinade are an explosion in your mouth in the best way possible! It’s a party in your mouth bite after bite, hence the name: fiesta steak!

For best results, choose a well-marbled steak. These steaks will lead to an even juicier outcome. Remember, the steak should be about one inch thick. This will ensure the steak is entirely cooked.
