Step 1: Soak ancho chiles in warm water for 30 minutes or until soft; remove from water saving 1/2 cup of liquid; remove stems and seeds and discard; then chop anchos into small pieces.
Step 2: Combine all remaining ingredients (including chopped anchos) and the reserved 1/2 cup of liquid (from soaking anchos).
Step 3: Place marinade over steaks (a resealable ziplock bag works nicely) for up to 12 hours (refrigerated).
Step 4: After marinating, bring steaks to room temperature, remove from marinade, pat dry with paper toweling, and prepare as desired.
Step 5: Makes about 1 cup of marinade, enough for several steaks.
