Is the steak really pre-cooked and then marinated afterwards?

Wait 5 sec.

Question for those in the know… A friend of mine said that Chipotle steak arrives pre-cooked from offsite, marinated on-site, and then merely seared just prior to serving. I was a little confused since afaik marination usually comes before cooking. Is this true? Also, the steak usually looks like it’s smothered in some kind of sauce. Is that added after the searing or does all of that just come from the original marinade? This further adds to my confusion as marinade mostly burns off during searing. Thanks for any info!   submitted by   /u/JNJury978 [link]   [comments]
