SKIRT STEAK TACOS WITH ROASTED TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• Heat grill to high.
• Wrap tortillas in aluminum foil and on the top rack of the grill while the steak is grilling.
• Heat grill pan over high heat. Brush steak with oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Grill on one side until golden brown and slightly charred, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the steak over and cook to medium-rare doneness, about 3 to 4 minutes longer. Let rest 5 minutes then slice against the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices.
• Fill each tortilla with some lettuce, 3 to 4 pieces of meat, onion, grilled tomato salsa, sour cream, and avocado.
• Heat grill to high.
• Heat oil in a small saute pan and saute the chiles, onion, and garlic until soft.
• Brush tomatoes with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill on both sides until slightly charred and soft.
• Transfer tomatoes and serrano mixture to a food processor; add the lime juice and salt and pepper and process until smooth. Add the cilantro and pulse a few times (there should be flecks of cilantro in the salsa.) Transfer to a bowl.

SLOW-COOKER MONGOLIAN SKIRT STEAK TACOS

Steps:

• Whisk the soy sauce, broth, brown sugar, tahini, scallions, garlic and ginger together in the insert of your slow cooker until the brown sugar dissolves. Add the skirt steak to the mixture, cutting the steak as necessary to fit into the cooker. Add more broth as needed to cover the steak, depending on the size of your cooker. Cover and cook until the steak is fork-tender, 6 to 8 hours on low.
• Meanwhile, combine the cabbage, sour cream, lime juice and paprika in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate if not serving the slaw immediately.
• Shred the beef with two forks in the cooker, or remove from the sauce, cut into strips, and return the strips to the sauce. To assemble the tacos, fill each tortilla with steak, rice and cabbage slaw. Enjoy!

• Place steak in a baking pan and pour marinade on top. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 to 4 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.

SKIRT STEAK TACOS

Steps:

• Pour dressing over steak in shallow dish; turn over to evenly coat. Refrigerate 30 min. to marinate, turning steak after 15 min.
• Heat grill to medium-high heat. Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Grill steak 5 to 7 min. on each side or until medium doneness (160ºF). Let stand 5 min.
• Cut steak across the grain into thin slices. Top with 1/2 cup cheese; let stand 1 min. or until cheese is melted.
• Top tortillas with meat and melted cheese and remaining ingredients; fold in half.

CHIPOTLE SKIRT STEAK TACOS

Steps:

• Puree a single chipotle pepper (not the whole can) + 2 tsp of the adobo sauce with the onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper. Taste and add more chipotle if needed. Stir in the cilantro. Throw it all in a zip lock bag with the skirt steak for at least 2 hours. Grill medium-rare. Cut the skirt steak into thin strips across the grain. Serve with taco accompaniments.
• Note: I throw the corn tortillas directly on the grill 30 seconds, flip, add cheese, grill 30 seconds, remove. This melts the cheese oh-so-perfectly and chars the tortilla edges just a tiny bit for that crunch. Heating it also takes away some of the "rawness" that corn tortillas have when they are straight out of the bag.

GRILLED ONION & SKIRT STEAK TACOS

Steps:

• Pound beef with a meat mallet to tenderize. In a large bowl, mix beer, lime juice and 2 tablespoons oil until blended. Add beef to marinade; turn to coat. Refrigerate, covered, at least 30 minutes., Meanwhile, cut partially through onions, leaving tops intact. Drizzle with remaining oil; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper., Drain beef, discarding marinade; sprinkle with the remaining salt and pepper. On a greased grill rack, grill steaks and onions, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from heat until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°) and onions are crisp-tender, 2-4 minutes on each side. Cut steak diagonally across the grain into thin slices. Serve with tortillas, onions, cilantro and lime wedges.

ARRACHERA (SKIRT STEAK TACOS)

Steps:

• Pound the skirt steak until it's flat or instead, ask the butcher to run it through the machine that flattens it out. Doing this works best.
• Season meat with Adobo, Cumin, and Pico de Gallo. I use the Adobo that has Cumin already in it and it works great.
• Rub seasoning into the meat.
• Layer meat, onions, and garlic in a deep pan or bowl and cover with beer by placing portion of meat on the bottom, top with onions (sliced so that it forms rings), chopped garlic, then repeat until all meat is used. Fill with beer of choice until everything is covered.
• Let sit for several hours or overnight.
• Cook meat on grill.
• Serve with heated corn tortillas and what ever taco toppings you prefer.
