Recipe Description

Here is an easy recipe for a great south-of-the-border steak. It combines the smoky goodness of chipotle with fresh lime juice, salt, garlic, and a couple other ingredients to make a killer marinade. You can eat the steak straight-up, or use it for fajitas, as I did.

Preparation Instructions

Put all of the ingredients in a gallon zip-top bag and seal, removing all of the excess air. Slosh the bag, and massage it with your hands to get all of the ingredients combined. Refrigerate for at least two hours, and up to four hours.

Start your grill and prepare for direct grilling over medium-high heat (400-450º).

Remove the steak from the bag and pat each side dry with paper towels. Oil each side of the steak lightly with canola oil.

Note: These cooking times are approximate, and they based on a steak that is about 3/4″ thick. Your mileage may vary.

Grill the steak until it readily releases from the grate, about three minutes. Rotate the steak 45º and continue cooking for about two minutes.

Flip the steak over and grill three minutes more. Rotate the steak 45º and continue cooking for about one more minutes.

Remove the steak to a platter and let rest ten minutes. Slice across the grain into 1/4″ slices.

Serve and enjoy!

PatioDaddio we love this recipe!! I was most impressed that the marinade did not overpower the steak. We served the steak as fajitas with a chipotle mayo sauce (message me for the recipe!) and used Williams Sonoma Smoked Sea Salt grilled onions and peppers. The steak was perfectly cooked and tender. Skirt steak is difficult to grill and can be tough. Your recipe treats the cut just right. My only suggestion is that you may want to explain in further detail how to cut a skirt steak across the grain in your recipe. It can be tricky if you have not cut a skirt steak before. Thank you for posting, can’t wait to try more of your recipes!

This marinade was great for our skirt steak soft tacos. They were JUST spicy enough without taking over the steak flavor. Easy to do, quick and delicious. Perfect as usual Daddio!

Delicious! The steak had great flavor and my husband loved it. I was only able to marinate my steak for 3 hours. Next time I’m going to go a bit longer and see if I get even more flavor. Thanks for such a great recipe!

Sriracha and Calamari Burger

A perfect surf and turf burger with just the right amount of spice. A patty that contains cheddar cheese and spicy Sriracha sauce is topped with fried calamari. It’s really good.
