Ingredients

  • 1 skirt steak (approximately 1 lb)
  • 3 T olive oil
  • 1.5 T soy sauce
  • 1/2 t red pepper flakes
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced or crushed
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Trim any fat off of the skirt steak and tenderize it using a mallet or blade tenderizer.

  2. Mix the other ingredients in a bowl and then pour into a gallon sized ziploc bag with the steak to marinade (about 30 minutes at room temperature).

  3. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and grill steak for 2-4 minutes on each side. Remove to a plate, cover with foil, and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. (Can certainly be prepared on a grill if you prefer).

  4. Cut steak into bite-sized pieces.

  5. Serve with warm corn or flour tortillas, chopped red onion, cilantro, sour cream, jalapeƱos, and lime wedges.
