Skirt Steak Fajitas with Grilled Cabbage and Scallions image

The vegetables should still have plenty of bite when you pull them off the grill; you want a mix of textures between the tender steak, crisp toppings, and soft tortillas.

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 garlic cloves, peeled
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons hot smoked Spanish paprika
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 pounds skirt steak, cut into 4 equal pieces
1/2 medium head green cabbage, cut into 2 wedges, core intact
1 large white onion, halved with some root end attached
1 bunch scallions, trimmed

Steps:

  • For steak:
  • Purée garlic, lime juice, oil, paprika,
  • cilantro, cumin, salt, and onion powder in a
  • blender until smooth. Transfer marinade to
  • a resealable plastic bag and add steak. Seal
  • bag and turn to coat; chill at least 4 hours.
  • DO AHEAD: Steak can be marinated
  • day ahead. Keep chilled.
  • For vegetables and assembly:
  • Prepare grill for medium-high heat. (Alternatively, heat
  • a grill pan over medium-high heat.) Drizzle
  • cabbage, white onion, and scallions with 4
  • tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill,
  • turning occasionally, until vegetables are
  • charred and softened, about 4 minutes for
  • scallions, 10-12 minutes for cabbage and
  • onion. Let vegetables cool slightly.
  • Core cabbage and cut into bite-size
  • pieces along with scallions and onion. Toss
  • chopped vegetables in a large bowl with
  • red onion, lime juice, cilantro, and remaining
  • tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper.
  • Remove steak from marinade, scraping
  • off excess; season with salt and pepper.
  • Grill steak until medium-rare, about
  • minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting
  • board and let rest 5-10 minutes before
  • slicing. Serve steak with vegetables, tortillas,
  • and Dried Chile Salsa.
