Method

Preparation of Marinade

  1. 1

    Mix Marinade Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate Skirt Steak

    Place skirt steak in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it’s well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, add mesquite wood chips to the coals for flavor.

  2. 4

    Grill Skirt Steak

    Remove the skirt steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Brush the steak with olive oil, then grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

  3. 5

    Grill Vegetables

    While the steak is grilling, slice the bell peppers and onion into strips. On a grill pan or directly on the grill, add the vegetables and grill until tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.

Serving

  1. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Once the steak is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice it into thin strips against the grain. Serve the steak and grilled vegetables on a sizzling plate with warm flour tortillas, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa on the side.
