Time 1h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds skirt steak
1/2 cup cilantro leaves and stems, finely chopped
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (1 large orange)
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (2 limes)
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons Mexican oregano or other oregano
4 cloves garlic
1 serrano chile, seeds removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 limes, cut into wedges, for serving

Steps:

Place the skirt steak in a large glass bowl or resealable plastic bag.
To make the marinade, add the cilantro, olive oil, orange juice, lime juice, honey, oregano, garlic and serrano chile to a blender. Season with a small pinch of salt and pepper. Blend for 35 to 40 seconds to combine.
Pour the marinade all over the steak, moving it around to make sure everything is covered. Cover or seal and transfer to the refrigerator and allow to marinate for at least 1 hour, but no more than 6 (too long in the marinade will cause the steak to begin breaking down).
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
When ready, remove the steak from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and grill about 4 minutes per side for medium.
Remove to a cutting board and allow to rest for 5 to 7 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain and serve with the lime wedges.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds of flank steak or skirt steak
The juice of 1 orange
The juice of 2 limes
1/4 cup of light beer
2 tablespoons of Kikkoman Soy Sauce
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
Fresh ground pepper to taste
1 large white onion sliced (optional)
Vegetable oil to brush the grill before grilling
Corn tortillas
Guacamole
Salsa
Lime wedges
Grilled green onions and nopales or a salad of your choice.

Steps:

Place the flank steak in a large baking dish and, if using the sliced onion, spread the slices over the meat.
In a medium-sized bowl mix together the orange juice, lime juice, light beer, Kikkoman soy sauce, vegetable oil, and freshly ground black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the meat; cover with a plastic film and refrigerate for at least one hour.
Light up your charcoal grill, or preheat your gas grill. (You can also use a cast iron grill pan, the ones you use over the stove top). And brush your grill with a little vegetable oil as this will prevent the meat from sticking.
Remove meat from marinade and pat dry. Place meat on the grill and cook for 8 to 10 minutes per side. (Cooking time will depend on the meat thickness and your personal preferences, either medium or well done). Remove meat from grill and place it on your cutting board. Slice it and serve it with corn tortillas and other garnishes mentioned above.
If you would like to have the same effect as that of the Mexican-American restaurant, place the cooked meat on a preheated cast iron pan, add a few drops of Soy Sauce and serve immediately. Enjoy!
