Best Skirt Steak For Fajitas Recipes

SKIRT STEAK FAJITAS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
• In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
• Use a pastry brush to coat both sides of the bell peppers, onions and scallions with some of the oil, then sprinkle with a quarter of the spice mix. Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel, then brush with the remaining canola oil and season with the remaining spice mix.
• Grill the steaks until grill marks appear and they start to char slightly, about 3 minutes per side for medium rare. Grill the peppers, onions and scallions until grill marks appear, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove everything to a cutting board. Coarsely chop the vegetables first to allow the steaks some time to rest. Slice the steaks against the grain into thin slices.
• Serve with the warm flour tortillas (I like to wrap a stack of tortillas in foil and warm on the grill) and sour cream, lettuce, guacamole, cheese and lime wedges.

Steps:

• 1. Cut the steak crosswise into 2 to 4 pieces and place in a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining ingredients; pour over the steak, turning it to coat well. Marinate overnight, covered, in the refrigerator, turning once or twice. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking.
• 2. Preheat the broiler. Remove the steak from the marinade, scrape off any bits and place on a baking sheet. Broil 4 inches from heat source for 3 minutes per side for medium-rare meat. Let rest 10 to 15 minutes. Slice the meat thinly. (For easy eating, the steak strips should be 1/4- to 1/2-inch thick.) To assemble fajitas, click here .
