Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup soy sauce
4 scallions, washed and cut in 1/2
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup lime juice
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar or 3 tablespoons mexican brown sugar
2 lbs inside skirt steaks, cut into 3 equal pieces

Steps:

  • Heat charcoal, preferably natural chunk, until grey ash appears.
  • In a blender, put in oil, soy sauce, scallions, garlic, lime juice, red pepper, cumin, and sugar and puree.
  • In a large heavy duty, zip top bag, put pieces of skirt steak and pour in marinade.
  • Seal bag, removing as much air as possible.

  • Remove steak from bag and pat dry with paper towels.

  • Return to foil pouch and toss with juice.
  • Serve with grilled peppers and onions, if desired.
