Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Skirt Steak or Flank Steak trimmed
- 1/3 cup Olive Oil extra virgin
- 6 tbsp Lime Juice 3 limes
- 1/3 cup Orange Juice 1 large orange
- 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
- 1/2 cup Fresh Cilantro chopped
- 4 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 tsp Cumin Powder
- 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder (various types) optional
- Salt to taste
- Black Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by trimming your Skirt Steak to remove as much extra fat you can from the outside. Tenderize your steak with a tenderizing mallet and aim for uniformity in thickness. Set aside.
- Mix together all listed ingredients (except for the steak) in a bowl for the marinade.
- Place the prepared steak in a deep pan and pour the marinade over top. Move the steak around to ensure the marinade gets in and under any folds. Let rest for 4-8 hours.
- Heat your grilled to medium high. Once pre-heated, place the steak on the grill and cook to desired doneness. I recommend aiming for medium rare which can be achieved in about 5 minutes per side.
- Remove the steak from the grill and let rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes.
- Cut the steak against the grain and at a bias into strips. From here you can either enjoy it as is or continue on and use it to fill tacos and more!
- Chop the strips of steak into small pieces and place in a pan heated on high on the stove. Sear for approximately 30 minutes stirring constantly.
- Pour the meat into your desired number of tacos and top as you please!
