- 2 lbs skirt steak silverskin removed
- Mojo:
- Juice of two oranges
- Juice of 1 lime and 1 lemon
- ½ tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- 3 cloves garlic minced or pressed
- 2 teaspoon oregano
- ¼ yellow onion grated to a paste
- ¼ cup olive oil
Mix all of the mojo ingredients together
Marinate steak in a plastic zip top with the mojo for at least 4 hours in the fridge. Overnight is best.
Take the bag out of the fridge 45 minutes before cooking to rest. If using a grill, make sure the charcoal coals are white and hot. Grill 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
On a grill pan on the stove, use high heat. Sear the steak on each side for 3 minutes for medium-rare.
Let meat rest on a cutting board or plate, covered with aluminum foil, for 10 minutes.
Serve thinly sliced, topped with chimichurri sauce or in tacos or fajitas. Whatever floats your boat.
