SKIRT STEAK FAJITAS

Steps:

• Cut the skirt steak into 3 equal size pieces and place in a gallon-sized resealable bag.
• Combine the olive oil, lime juice, soy sauce, salt, chile powder and cumin in a bowl. Reserve about 1/4 cup marinade in a squeeze bottle for later use, then pour the rest into the bag with the steaks. Seal the bag and press out all the air, making sure all sides of the steaks are evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Remove the steaks from the bag and shake off any excess marinade. Place on a wire rack-lined baking sheet and return to the fridge, uncovered, for another 2 hours. (This will make sure the steaks get a beautiful rich color when seared.)
• Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon canola oil. Give the steaks a generous sprinkle of salt, then put in the hot skillet. Sear until a crust has developed, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a cutting board. Without cleaning the skillet, add the remaining tablespoon canola oil, followed by the peppers and onions, and cook until slightly softened, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, slice each steak in half with the grain. Now turn the steaks 90 degrees and slice against the grain into 1/4-inch strips. When the peppers and onions are almost finished cooking, add the steak to the hot skillet for a final sizzle and season with salt and pepper. Squirt the reserved marinade into the hot skillet to create a steamy sizzle. Serve with the tortillas and any toppings you wish.

• To grill the steak:.
• Place the beef on the grill, directly over the coals, and leave undisturbed until grill marks form, then rotate the meat 90 degrees to create a second set of marks.

FAJITAS - ARRACHERA - GRILLED SKIRT STEAK

Steps:

• In a blender, whir together oil, soy sauce, onion, garlic, lime juice, red pepper or chili/red pepper/chipotle, cumin, salt and sugar until there are no chunks- liquefied. If you do not want to blend them combine all the wet until the sugar is dissolved then add the other ingredients and proceed.
• Place steak in a ziploc bag and pour in marinade. Toss in the squeezed limes that were juiced and reserved.
• Seal bag, removing as much air as possible. Allow steak to marinate for at least 1 hour in refrigerator. We do it overnight.
• Remove steak from bag and pat dry with paper towels. Toss out marinade.
• Heat charcoal, preferably natural chunk, until gray ash appears. Daddy uses B & B brand.
• You want the steak to fit nicely on the coals. You may need to cut the steak so that it fits nicely on the coals. You want the entire surface of the steak in DIRECT contact with the coals.
• Using a blow dryer, YES A BLOW DRYER! Blow charcoal clean of ash. You could also use a fireplace bellows or something heavy and just 'fan' them until the ashes are off the coals.
• Once clean of ash lay steaks directly onto hot coals for 1 minute per side. That is all. ONE MINUTE PER SIDE! (If you prefer NOT to use that method you CAN place them on the grill SEE NOTE BELOW!
• Now place meat in double thickness of aluminum foil, wrap tightly to trap in all the heat and allow to sit for 15 minutes.
• Want veggies too? While the meat is resting, place a cast iron skillet right on the coals and heat until really scorching HOT. You could use a grill basket instead if you like. Add a little olive oil to coat the pan so that your veggies don't stick. Toss in the veggies and stir (or shake basket a bit) to cook evenly. Remove from skillet when they have reached the desired degree of done-ness!
• Remove meat from foil, reserving foil and juices. Slice thinly across the grain of the meat. Brush off any ash or coals that may have stuck to the meat.
• Note: You can do this the GRINGO way and cook on a grill over a very hot fire. You want the meat to sear. Just cook about 3 minutes per side instead of 1 minute directly on the coals. The grill rack MUST be placed as close to the coals as possible and the grill rack has been preheated to HOT HOT HOT! You want to sear the heck outta that meat! Then just follow the regular steps! Remember, if you want the meat more DONE you can pop it under the broiler in the house for a minute or two BUT you cannot UNcook the meat! So err on the side of RARE rather than DONE here.).
• Return to foil pouch (REPEAT AFTER MAMA- NO DISH TO WASH! YEA) and toss with the reserved juice.
• Fix a taco! We like to heat lots of yummy tortillas right along side the coals. Just wrap the desired amount of tortillas- it is best to keep it 10 or under so that the ones in the middle get nice and yummy too! Anyway, wrap them in a double thickness of aluminum foil and place near the coals. They can hang out and get toasty warm and will be waiting for you!
• Take a hot, steamy tortilla (authentically corn but use what you want) and add meat and veggies or whatever you like. Fold and eat!
• ENJOY!
• Oh ANOTHER Note: Some people like a little more sweetness to their fajita meat- If you are one try adding some 7-up or sprite to the marinade. mmmmm.

• 2. Mix together spices in small bowl. Wipe beef dry, rub with olive oil, and spices. Wrap in plastic wrap, refrigerate.

• 4. Slice veggies up & place in large bowl, sprinkle with olive oil & preferred spices, toss. Place on baking sheet appropriate for grilling.
• 5. Grill veggies before or during fajatia grilling. Grill skirt steak on each side for about 20 min. on med. high grill heat. This is best eaten medium rare. The longer you cook it, the tougher it gets.
• 6. Let rest for 20 min., then slice thinly against the grain. Since the grain run across the skirt steak you need to slice it crossways in about 3" strips, then go back & slice the strips against the grain. Place on warm tortilla, top with cheese & grilled veggies. Garnish with salsa, sour creme or pico de gallo.

• Add onions and bell pepper to sauté pan with a splash of olive oil. Sauté veggies over medium heat for about 8 minutes or until they begin to soften

HOW TO GRILL SKIRT STEAK

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• While technically optional, the first step for the best-tasting grilled steak is to salt it. Put the salt in a small bowl or ramekin. If using the pepper and/or cayenne, add them to the salt and mix. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to overnight in the fridge. In any case, bring the meat to about room temperature, or at least let it sit out to take the chill off before cooking it to help ensure even cooking.
• While the meat sits, make sure the cooking grate on your charcoal or gas grill is cleaned and well oiled, then heat the grill to high heat. You should be able to hold your hand about an inch over the grill grate for 1 second before it feels too hot. If using a charcoal grill, build the fire to one side so you'll also have a cooler area where you can move the steak(s) if it's seared and browned on the outside but not quite ready to take off the grill completely (if you're using a gas grill , you'll be able to turn off a burner if need be).
• Set the steak(s) on the grill and cook, without moving, until that side is seared and releases from the grill of its own accord, about 3 minutes for medium-rare, 4 minutes for medium.
• Turn and cook on the other side to the same effect, about 3 to 4 more minutes. You can use a meat thermometer to get an accurate temperature if you like. For rare, remove the steak(s) at 120 F to 125 F; medium-rare 125 F to 130 F; and medium 130 F to 135 F.
• Remove the steak(s) from the grill, cover loosely with foil, and let sit at least 10 minutes. This resting time allows the meat to finish cooking and the juices to redistribute evenly throughout the steak. It is extremely important to achieving a properly cooked steak when everything is said and done, so despite the temptation, don't skip this step.
• Use a sharp knife to slice the steak against the grain and serve hot, warm, or at room temperature. Skirt steak is particularly flavorful, so any cold leftovers are more than usually delicious.
