--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   4      8 to 10 oz.   New York strip steaks, trimmed -- 1 - 1-1/2 inch thick
     1/2  cup           tequila
   2      tablespoons   olive oil
   1      tablespoon    pepper
   2      teaspoons     grated lemon peel
   1      clove         garlic, minced
                        salt to taste

Preparation:

With a damp paper towel, wipe steaks; put meat in a 1- gallon plastic food bag. Add tequila, oil, pepper, lemon peel, and garlic; seal bag, and turn to mix seasonings. Set bag in a bowl; chill at least 1 hour or up to 1 day; turn bag over occasionally. Drain steaks and place on a grill 4 to 6 inches above a solid bed of hot coals (you can hold your hand at grill level only 2 to 3 seconds, or set gas barbecue at this heat). Turn steaks to brown evenly; for medium-rare (cut to test), cook 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer meat to plates; season to taste with salt. Serves 4.
