Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds skirt (hanger, round steak, or similar 1/2-inch thick steak)
Garlic Lime Marinade/Sauce:
- 1 shallot (chopped*)
- 6 garlic cloves (peeled)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 3/4 teaspoon pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon cumin
- 3/4 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 cup lime juice
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil
Optional Garnish:
- chopped mangoes
- chopped cilantro
- chopped green onions
- squeezed lime wedges
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients for the marinade/sauce in a food processor or blender combine. Blend until they form a smooth, white, garlicky liquid.
- In a bowl or zippered bag place the skirt steak and add HALF of the marinade. Coat the steak and set aside to marinate for 30 minutes. Reserve the remaining marinade to use as a sauce on the grilled steak.
- Pre-heat the grill to high. Grill the steak over high heat and cover. Cook steaks for about 2-3 minutes per side or until medium rare.
- Remove steak from the grill. Let cool for 1-2 minutes and place on a cutting board. Slice steak diagonally, against the grain for tender pieces. Serve and drizzle with remaining marinade/sauce and optional garnish.
Notes
We recommend organic ingredients whenever possible. And when it comes to meat, I prefer choosing humanely-raised, organic and / or local beef. Yes, it does cost a little more, but I think it’s totally worth it.
If you don’t have a shallot, feel free to substitute 2 tablespoons chopped onion.
