Ingredients
  

Marinade
  • 1.5 lbs Skirt Steak
  • 0.5 cup Orange Juice
  • 0.25 cup Lime Juice
  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1 tsp Chili Powder

Equipment

  • Grill or heavy-bottomed pan
  • Shallow dish or resealable bag

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl and whisk well. Place the skirt steak in a shallow dish or a resealable bag, then pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it's fully coated.
  2. Marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for deeper flavor (optional).
Cooking
  1. Preheat a grill or a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, remove the steak from the marinade, shaking off any excess.
  2. Cook the steak for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to desired doneness.
Finishing
  1. Remove the steak from the grill or pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Slice against the grain into thin strips and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra flavor, a pinch of smoked paprika can be added to the marinade. Adjust cooking time based on desired doneness. Serve with warm tortillas, salsa, and guacamole for a complete meal.
