Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.
