Marinade and Meat

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, lime juice, ground cumin, black pepper, and salt to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Meats

    Add the skirt steak and chicken breasts to the marinade. Ensure that both are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Grill the Skirt Steak

    Remove the skirt steak from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.

  5. 5

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and place them on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and juices run clear. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slice both the skirt steak and chicken breasts, and arrange on a platter. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with your choice of sides.
