Lucky Thirteen Steak Marinade

Ingredients:
4 Kansas City Steak Company steaks, preferably KC Strips
1/2 c. extra virgin olive oil
juice of one lime
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 T. worstershire sauce
1 t. crushed red pepper
1 T. soy sauce
1 t. cayenne pepper
1 t. cumin
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
2 T. of the adobo sauce
1 jalepeno pepper, split and seeded
1/2 c. dry red wine
1/2 yellow onion sliced into thin rings

Directions:
All ingredients are available at local groceries.  The chipotle peppers
are usually in the Mexican foods section.  Two of the peppers, with 2 T. of
the sauce they are packed in is sufficient.  Use either a gallon sized Freezer
Zip bag, or a ceramic baking dish for the marinating process.  Combine all
ingredients except steak, stirring or shaking to combine.  Add the steaks in
a single layer, turn to cover with marinade.  This can be ready in two hours,
(turn the bag or the steaks in the marinade after the first hour) but is best
if steaks are marinated overnight.  When ready to use steaks, charcoal grilling
is best to enhance the smokey flavor of the marinade.
