Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Beef

    In a large bowl, combine the garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, bay leaves, vinegar, soy sauce, water, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Add the Beef

    Place the beef skirt steak in the marinade, ensuring it's fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  3. 3

    Cook the Beef

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the beef from the marinade and discard the marinade. Cook the beef for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

  4. 4

    Rest and Slice

    Once cooked, let the beef rest for 5 minutes before slicing it against the grain into strips.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the sliced beef skirt adobo with rice or tortillas, drizzling with any pan juices if desired.
