Grilled Mojo Marinated Skirt Steak

MMM!  Yes, that's right, I'm back on again to share another 10/10 recipe that I am sure you will want to make quite soon, especially since it is one for the grill.  I served it with these potatoes, which went perfectly with it.  And if you are into wine, I paired it with this Malbec--quite lovely, too!

Ingredients:

2 lbs. skirt steak, trimmed and cut into steaks (around 6-8" across, each)
6 cloves garlic, minced (or pressed, which is what I did)
2 T. soy sauce (I used reduced sodium version)
1 tsp. grated/zest of lime
1/4 c. fresh lime juice, divided
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. dried oregano
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. grated/zest of orange
1/2 c. fresh orange juice
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
2 T. olive oil, divided
1 tsp. baking soda

Directions:

1. In a 13" x 9" baking dish, combine garlic, soy sauce, 2 T. of the lime juice, cumin, oregano, salt, orange juice, and red pepper flakes, then place steaks in the dish and turn to coat.



2. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour; turn steaks over at around the 30 minute mark.

3. After turning the steaks around the 30 minute mark, prepare the grill.  (Note to self: make small pile of charcoal, light and leave alone until gets mostly ashy on outside, then spread out into single layer across bottom of grill before adding grate.)

4. Remove steaks from marinade and blot dry on paper towels.  Pour marinade into a small saucepan.

5. Combine 1 T. of the olive oil and the baking soda in a small bowl.  Brush each steak lightly with mixture.


6. Place steaks on grill and cover with lid vent open.  Let grill for 2-3 minutes, then turn and grill for additional 2-3 minutes.  Transfer steaks to plate and tent with aluminum foil.


7. While steaks rest, bring marinade to simmer over high heat, then remove from heat.  Stir in lime zest, orange zest, remaining 2 T. of lime juice, and remaining 1 T. olive oil.  Pour sauce into a vessel for serving the liquid (pourable/spout)

8. Serve steaks with a bit of sauce poured over and enjoy!
