Garlic Mojo Skirt Steak Tacos

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 300˚F.

Step 2

Pour the oil into an ovenproof saucepan and add in the peeled garlic cloves. Cover the pan with foil, and put into the oven for about 45 minutes. The garlic will be creamy and nutty in color. Remove the pot from the over and allow the oil to cool to room temperature.

Step 3

Place the oil & garlic into a blender, along with the rest of the ingredients. Puree until fairly smooth, and set aside.

Step 4

Pat the skirt steak dry with a paper towel. Brush the skirt steak generously with the mojo sauce, approximately 3-4 tbsp. Allow steak to rest at room temp with the marinade. Slice the red onions if you haven’t, and also brush them with the oil.

Step 5

Preheat the grill for direct cooking, hot flames around 400-450˚F.

Step 6

Place the onions on the grill, they will take longer than the steak. Allow them to grill for about 5 minutes before adding the steak, flip as necessary.

Step 7

Place the steak (or manageable slices) on the grill, letting it sear for 2-3 minutes on the first side and about 2 minutes on the other side. This will provide you with a medium-rare cook, so adjust accordingly.

Step 8

Remove the onions and the steak, allowing the steak to rest for about 10 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain. Chop the onions to preferred serving size. Mix the two, and add a little extra mojo.
