- Puree the garlic, onion, lime juice, Scotch bonnet, thyme, coriander, corn oil and honey into the bowl of a liquidiser or food processor until the ingredients are well incorporated. Marinate the steak with 125ml of the puree in a resealable bag overnight in the refrigerator. Reserve the rest of the puree to use later as a sauce.
- Preheat a barbecue for medium-high heat.
- While barbecue is warming, remove the meat from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. Discard any marinade left in the bag. Liberally season the steak with the sea salt and cook to desired doneness, approximately 4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
- To serve, slice the steak against the grain into 3 to 6mm slices and drizzle the remaining marinade over the meat.

Had a big party made this marinade with chicken breasts added some chillies and extra jalapenos also did half and half Cilantro and Garam Masala .....Everybody loved it!!! - 16 Jul 2006 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
My family LOVED this marinade! Where I changed things: 1) I forgot to buy fresh thyme so I used 1Tbs of dried and 2) my limes were kinda small so I used three. Some of the reserved sauce is in the fridge and I'm thinking it would be good on veggie wraps this weekend. - 01 May 2007 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
