Cuban Skirt Steak - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Marinade
    3 garlic cloves, minced
    1 teaspoon kosher salt
    1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
    1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
    1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
    1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
    1 teaspoon black pepper
    2 chipotle chiles in adobo, minced
    1 cup sour orange juice (Mixed OJ and lime juice can be subbed)
    1 small onion, diced
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    2 1/4 lbs skirt steaks, each halved crosswise (2 steaks)
    Optional additions
    grilled scallion
    grilled bell pepper
    lettuce
    cheese
    tortilla
    salsa
    avocado, slices
Preparation
    Mix marinade ingredients together. Pour into a a large zip-lock bag. Place steak in the bad and seal bag, chilled, at least 6 hours.
    Bring steak to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
    While steak comes to room temperature, prepare grill for cooking. If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. Charcoal fire is hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 1 to 2 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then reduce heat to moderately high.
    Grill steak on lightly oiled grill rack, uncovered, turning over once, 6-8 minutes total for medium-rare.
    Cut steak diagonally across grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
