Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for grilling the steak
  • 4 pounds beef skirt steak
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon chile-lime seasoning e.g., from Spiceology
  • Corn tortillas
  • 1 small white onion, finely chopped
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Hot sauce of your choice Yellowbird Hot Sauce recommended
  • 1 teaspoon cumin for an earthy depth of flavor

Method
 

Step 1: Marinate the Steak
  1. First, grab a bowl and mix olive oil, lime juice, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, chile-lime seasoning, and cumin. This blend offers a lovely marinade. Place your skirt steak into the mixture and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes. If you have the time, a few hours in the refrigerator really enhances the flavors.
Step 2: Preheat the Blackstone
  1. Turn on your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat. Allow it to reach the right temperature for about 5-10 minutes. You want that sizzle when the steak hits the surface.
Step 3: Grill the Steak
  1. Once the griddle is hot, place the marinated skirt steak on it. Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes or until it reaches your preferred doneness. A good medium-rare is usually a hit!
Step 4: Chop and Prepare
  1. Remove the steak from the griddle and let it rest for a few minutes. This is crucial; allowing the meat to rest keeps it tender. Once cool, cut the steak against the grain into small pieces.
Step 5: Warm the Tortillas
  1. While the steak rests, toss your corn tortillas on the griddle for about 30 seconds on each side, just until they’re warm and slightly charred.
Step 6: Build the Tacos
  1. Now the fun part! Place some steak on a tortilla and top it with chopped onion, cilantro, and a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce. Squeeze a fresh lime wedge over the top for that zesty kick.

Notes

  • Quality Matters: Opt for high-quality skirt steak. Grass-fed beef can elevate the flavor.
  • Rest Your Meat: Do not skip resting the steak! It truly makes a difference in tenderness.
  • Tortilla Choices: While corn tortillas are traditional, feel free to use flour if you prefer.
  • Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh onions and cilantro. It greatly influences the taste compared to packaged versions.
  • Experiment: Don’t hesitate to try other spices or toppings, like avocado slices or radishes!
