I'm thinking about the acidity you mention. I think over-marinating would just leave it mushy. Sounds like she just had too much lime juice in the marinade.

It's funny you mention this! I was telling the girlfriend how I needed half a roll of paper towels to dry off the meat before I seared it.
I let it come to room temperature for nearly 45 minutes, put it on the cutting board with about 5-6 paper towels underneath and then patted it dry with another 5-6 on top. It was just really juicy from the marinade sucking in so much.
Next time I'm going to try a dry rub! Probably Southwestern style
