Instructions
Marinating the steak
- In a large bowl, add all the ingredients for the marinade and whisk together.
- Cut the skirt steak into manageable lengths (probably 3, so they are still long (around 7 inches) but easier to grill).
- Place skirt steak into marinade and ensure it is well covered with marinade. Cover with plastic wrap. Leave in refrigerator for 2 to 24 hours.
Cooking the steak
- Preheat BBQ, grill or pan to medium high heat.
- Shake off excess marinade and grill each steak until cooked to rare.
- Take off the grill and let rest for about 10 minutes.
- Carve to about 1/4 inch thick strips and add to tacos or tortillas.
Tacos/tortillas
- We used warmed tortilla wraps, added our home made guacamole, julienned radish, Queso fresco cheese, grilled scallions and a squeeze of lime juice.
