Tender and Charred Skirt Steak Tacos

Step 1

Remove the steak from its packaging and arrange on a large plate or cutting board. Pat very dry using paper towels, then sliced in half into two approximately 12” long pieces. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Rest 10 minutes to allow the salt to infuse and season the steak.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk the olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, garlic and cumin until smooth. Place the steak in a resealable bag and pour the marinade over the steak. Squeeze as much air as possible out of the bag, then seal and place in the fridge for at least an hour and up to 10.

Step 3

When you are ready to cook, heat a grill pan or grill to high heat. Remove the steak from the bag, allowing the excess marinade to drip from the steaks. Place the marinated steaks on a plate or cutting board and allow the steak to come to room temperature while the grill heats up, 10-15 minutes.

Step 4

Place the steaks on the grill. Grill 3-4 minutes per side over high heat with the lid open, or until the internal temperature registers 130°F. Remove from the grill and place on a cutting board. Rest 10 minutes, to allow the juices to settle and for the temperature to rise to approximately 135°F.

Step 5

Thinly slice the steak against the grain, then layer into warmed tortillas with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
