Ingredients

Scale
  • 1–1.5 lbs skirt steak or carne asada
  • 2 cloves of garlic, mashed
  • 1 large handful fresh cilantro leaves
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 1 orange, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup olive oil

Instructions

  1. Rub the marinade all over the steak, and allow to sit in a covered bowl overnight. Remove from the fridge one hour before you plan to cook it.
  2. When the steak is ready to cook, heat up a large cast iron pan or a grill pan on high heat. (Or better yet, if you have a grill, heat that up!) You may need to cut your steak into pieces in order to get it to fit in the pan. Add a small amount of vegetable oil to the pan, and add your skirt steak. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, until well-browned, then turn it over and do the same thing. You want the steak to be medium rare, ideally, so you should cook it to about 130-135 degrees, if you have a thermometer. Allow the steak to rest for 5-10 minutes.
  3. Slice the steak across the grain into thin pieces. Warm the tortillas in the oven or over a flame and fill each one with a little steak, and all desired toppings, like onion, avocado, salsa, etc.
  4. Serve with a side of rice and/or beans, if desired.
