  Cooked today in the so far hottest day of 2011. I cooked for two so halved the ingredients. I found it two limy. Left overs were thrown in the bin, rather than kept for lunch at work next day. This is how average it was.

  Because it was such a lovely day we had a barbecue. Tried this recipe and I found it too sour and very limey, Would not make again, will stick to my own tried and tested marinade in future.

  I made this last night along with all the side dishes suggested in July's Good Food magazine. I could not disagree more with the previous comments. The steak was amazing, tenderized by marinating in lime juice but not excessively lime flavoured once cooked. The whole meal was a massive hit with all concerned. We are struggling to remember the last time we ate a nicer meal. A complete winner!

  Mmmmmm utterly delicious. Used 5 small limes and it was zingy and fresh and all gobbled up very quickly. Lots of requests to make it again.

  I followed advice and cut down on the lime juice used (I did 2 steaks and used just 2 limes (and didnt exactly wring the limes out either!) We really like this, was very taasty yet didnt detract from the flavour of a good steak. Will definately do again.

  We also made this with all the suggested side dishes. It was a big hit - one of the better new recipes we'd tried in a while. We are making it again this weekend

  I marinated this for a few hours using a bit less lime than stated, then cooked quickly in a pan on a medium-high heat. This was a winner in our house, and as we lived many years in the Southwest USA and love Tex-Mex food that is definitely saying somthing about this recipe. The flavours were far closer to an original beef fajita taste as anything we've had in a 'Mexican' restaurant anywhere in Europe.
