Make Marinade: Combine juice, oil, adobo seasoning, chili powder and paprika. Place in 2 gallon reclosable food storage bag. Add meat to bag and close. Marinate in refrigerator 1 hour.
Make Sauce: Heat oil in medium saucepan over medium-high heat until hot. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir 3 to 4 minutes or until browned. Place in blender container. Set saucepan aside. Add undrained tomatoes, tomatillos, chipotle pepper, cilantro and adobo seasoning. Puree until smooth. Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. Add tomato mixture, stir well and keep warm until ready to serve.
Spray grill pan with grilling spray; heat over medium-high heat until hot. Remove steak from marinade and place in pan. Discard bag with remaining marinade. Cook steak 5 to 7 minutes on each side or until desired doneness. Let stand 10 minutes.
Cut steak crosswise across the grain into thin slices. Place about 1/4 cup sauce on each plate and top with sliced steak or drizzle sauce over steak.
The extra Smoky Tomatillo Sauce may be used over rice or pasta served on the side. The sauce also can be used as a dressing on a salad -- place the sliced steak on chopped romaine lettuce and drizzle with the sauce.
As the Smoky Tomatillo Sauce stands, it mellows out in flavor. Can be made a day before serving.
