Vaquero Beef Fajitas - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 1/2 lbs skirt steaks or 1 1/2 lbs flank steaks
marinade
1/2 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons chili powder, not a blend (I use ancho)
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves fresh garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
jalapeno, chopped
rub
1 tablespoon Hungarian paprika
salt & fresh ground pepper
Preparation
-
Remove the membrane from the skirt steak.
In a plastic baggie, mix together the marinade ingredients, placing the skirt steak in the bag.
Refrigerate for 4-6 hours.
Fire up the grill.
Discard the marinade.
Massage the rub into the steak.
Grill over relatively high heat for 3-5 minutes each side for medium rare to medium.
Move to avoid burning, if necessary.
When done, place it on a platter for ten minutes.
Carve in thin slices against the grain.
