Ingredients
For the Steak:
- 2 pound skirt steak
For the Marinade:
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup lime juice
- ½ teaspoon lime zest
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together all the marinade ingredients.
- Cut the skirt steak into 2-3 pieces (small enough to fit in a large cast iron skillet or sauté pan). Place the steak in the bowl with the marinade. Marinate the steak for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator but overnight if possible.
- Take the marinated steak out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before you cook it to allow it to come to room temperature.
- Cook the steak according to the stove or grill directions below.
- Slice the skirt steak against the grain and cut into 1⁄4-inch- thick strips or cubes.
- Serve with your favorite tortillas and taco toppings or enjoy over rice and beans.
For Cooking on the Stove:
- Add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil to a large cast iron skillet or sauté pan and bring to medium-high heat.
- Once the skillet is hot, take the steak and place it into the hot skillet. Cook for 4 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 4 minutes. Remove from the pan. Cook the other pieces of steak and set aside, letting each piece rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
For Cooking on the Grill:
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (400-450 degrees F).
- Apply olive oil spray to the grill to prevent sticking. Place the steak on the grill and cook for 4 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 4 minutes.
- Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
