Chef's tip
Use the same weight and cut the chicken to match the recipe. Cook it to 165°F (74°C). For a long braise, slow-cooker recipe, or pressure-cooker recipe, shorten the cooking time because chicken thighs tenderize faster than steak.

Instructions

1
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of the garlic-infused oil, the lime juice, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, cayenne, salt, and black pepper until combined.
2
Place the steak in a zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, turning to coat on all sides. Seal and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 4 hours. Reserve no portion of the marinade — discard it after the steak is removed.
