Smoky and Fiery Skirt Steak With Avocado-Oregano Relish image

This recipe comes from Grilling for Life cookbook by Bobby Flay. Skirt steak is a chewy cut that's full of beefy flavor. It's the perfect vehicle for the big flavors of this dressing. The smokiness comes from the chipotle chiles, which are smoked jalapenos.
