Instructions
Heat 2 Tbsp oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and onions, and cook, until slightly browned and charred—8-10 minutes. Add remaining chiles, oregano, chipotles, and lime. Mix until warmed, then transfer to a blender. Add the honey and remaining 1 Tbsp of oil, and blend until smooth. Pour into a large mixing bowl and add in the steaks—toss with your hands to fully coat. Cover with plastic wrap and allow meat to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Oil the grill well. Remove excess marinade from the steaks, then lay each one on the grill and cook for 4 minutes each side (8 minutes total). Allow meat to rest for at least 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
Serve meat with fresh cilantro, cotija cheese, guacamole, and lime!
