Ingredients

  • 4 beef eye round steaks, cut 3/4 inch thick (about 4 ounces each)
  • 2/3 cup prepared Italian dressing
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1/2 cup dairy sour cream                                                                                         

Directions

1.  Combine dressing, 2 tablespoons cilantro and chili powder in small bowl. Combine sour cream, remaining 2 tablespoons cilantro and 1 tablespoon dressing mixture in another small bowl; season with salt, as desired. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

3.  Remove steaks from marinade; discard marinade. Place steaks on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 10 to 12 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, times remain the same) for medium rare (145°F) doneness, turning occasionally. (Do not overcook.)
