Grilled Honey Chili Flap Steak Food

GRILLED SKIRT STEAK

Steps:

• Cut each steak in half crosswise.
• Put in a large resealable plastic bag.
• Stir together beer, orange juice, lime juice, hot sauce, and garlic, then pour over steaks.
• Seal bag and refrigerate at least 5 hours and up to overnight.
• Prepare a gas or charcoal grill for medium-high heat.
• Drain meat and discard marinade.
• Mix salt and cumin and rub into meat.
• Spray onions lightly with vegetable oil spray and set, with steaks, on a cleaned and oiled cooking grate. Don't cover.
• For medium-rare to medium doneness (cut to check), grill steaks 3 to 4 minutes per side if less than 1/2 inches thick; add 1 more minute per side if more than 1/2 inches thick. Turn steaks at least once while grilling (more if juice starts to pool on surface). Grill onions, turning once, until browned on both sides and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes total.
• After removing steaks from grill, let rest 5 minutes (so juices redistribute through the meat) before slicing.
• With a sharp knife at a slight diagonal, cut across grain into thin strips.
• Serve meat and onions with tortillas, lime wedges, and hot sauce.

GRILLED HONEY CHILI FLAP STEAK

Steps:

• Stir garlic powder, chili powder, Mexican oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper together in a bowl. Sprinkle garlic powder mixture over both sides of flap steak, pat rub into meat, wrap steak in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
• Whisk honey, lime juice, cilantro, chipotle peppers, garlic, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, chipotle mustard, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper together in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours. Separate mixture equally into two bowls; one for basting and one for serving.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cook steak on the preheated grill until smoke rises from the spice rub. Turn the meat and squeeze the juice from 2 lime halves over the steak. When the spice rub begins to smoke, turn the meat again. Brush the refrigerated honey-lime basting sauce onto both sides of the steak and cook steak to your desired degree of doneness, 8 to 10 minutes per side for medium. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Let meat rest for 5 minutes and chop against the grain into bite-size pieces.
• Spoon grilled meat into tortillas. Top with onion, lime juice, reserved honey-lime serving sauce, and queso fresco cheese.
