Ingredients

• 2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick, 1 pound total)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce (adjust for spice level)
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

How to Make Grilled Steak with Spicy Sauce

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. Brush the steaks with olive oil and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream, lime juice, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Set aside.
4. Place the steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F. Adjust cooking time for your preferred doneness.
5. While the steaks are grilling, prepare the cucumber salad by tossing the cucumber slices with a pinch of salt and letting them sit for a few minutes to release excess moisture.
6. Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
7. Serve the sliced steak drizzled with the spicy sauce and garnished with chopped cilantro. Add the cucumber salad on the side.

Tips for the Best Results

• Allow the steaks to come to room temperature before grilling for even cooking.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure the perfect doneness.
• Let the steak rest after grilling; this helps the juices redistribute for a juicier bite.
• Feel free to adjust the level of sriracha in the sauce to suit your spice preference.

Easy Variations

• Swap the ribeye for flank steak or sirloin for a leaner option.
• Add diced jalapeños to the sauce for extra heat.
• Incorporate other vegetables into the cucumber salad, like cherry tomatoes or red onion.
• For a creamy twist, mix avocado into the cucumber salad.

What to Serve With It

• Grilled corn on the cob for a sweet contrast.
• Garlic bread to soak up the spicy sauce.
• A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette.
• Roasted potatoes for a hearty side.
