1/2 cup tequila or reduced-sodium beef broth
1 teaspoon grated lime zest

Drain vegetables and beef, discarding marinade. Grill onion and poblanos, covered, over medium heat until tender, 4-6 minutes per side. Grill jalapenos until crisp-tender, 2-3 minutes per side. Grill steaks, covered, over medium heat until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135u00b0; medium, 160u00b0), 4-6 minutes per side. Let steaks stand 5 minutes.
