6 Tbsp. frozen margarita drink mix concentrate, defrosted
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 large avocado, diced

In a bowl make marinade by combining margarita drink mix, cilantro, vegetable oil, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper. Put 2 Tbsp. of the marinade in a small container, cover and refrigerate.
Place steak and remaining marinade in a resealable plastic bag. Seal bag carefully and turn to coat steak. Refrigerate 6-8 hours, or overnight, turning occasionally.
