Grilled Skirt Steak and Toppings

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Rub the mixture all over the skirt steak and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat.

  3. 3

    Grill the Steak

    Place the marinated skirt steak on the hot grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare Tostadas

    While the steak is resting, prepare the tostadas. Place them on a serving platter.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Tostadas

    Slice the grilled skirt steak against the grain into thin strips. Top each tostada with shredded cheddar cheese, a generous scoop of guacamole, and sliced skirt steak. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
