Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 17

5 pounds beef skirt steak, thinly sliced
1 cup water
1 orange, sliced
⅔ cup orange juice
⅔ cup lime juice
½ cup red wine vinegar
1 lime, sliced
1 bunch fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon salt
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ground white pepper
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon dried Mexican oregano
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon ground cloves

Steps:

  • Place beef in a large resealable plastic bag.
  • Combine water, orange slices, orange juice, lime juice, vinegar, lime slices, cilantro, oil, salt, garlic, white pepper, black pepper, oregano, cumin, chili powder, and cloves in a large bowl. Whisk to combine. Pour marinade on top of the beef and seal the bag.
  • Marinate beef in the refrigerator, 2 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill beef over direct heat until firm and slightly pink in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium.
