Categories     Beef

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 piece Zested Orange
1/4 cup Freash Lemon Juice
2 teaspoons Lemon Zest
1/4 cup Water
1/4 cup Pineapple Juice
1/4 cup Soy Sauce
1 clove Garlic Minced
1 tablespoon Black Pepper
2 pieces Dried Chiles de Arbol (Crushed)
2 pieces Skirt Steaks (no more than 3/4 inch)

Steps:

  • 1. Grate the orange and lemon zests. Combine the zest with the water, the pineapple juice, lemon juice, soy sauce, garlic, black pepper and chiles, in a large baking dish
  • 2. Using a sharp knife, remove any membrane or silver skin from the meat. In most supermarkets, this membrane will already have been removed. If the meat is thicker than 3/4″ thick at the thickest part, cut it in half horizontally (butterfly) so that it will cook evenly. Place the skirt steak in the marinade and turn to coat. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and marinate at room temperature for 2 hours if inside skirt steak... or, 1 hour if outside skirt steaks.
  • 3. On a charcoal or gas grill, grill the meat for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until done. Cut crosswise in one-half-inch strips and serve with grilled onions, jalapenos and server hot and steaming. The Laurenzo family also serves the fajitas on a table grill to keep them hot. Part if the evolution of the recipe that the family has made over the decades also includes a ramekin of drawn garlic/lemon butter to dunk the strips in when served.
