About this recipe

Try this delicious and versatile preparation of skirt steak. Traditionally cooked over an open flame, Chef Trevor Speed’s version uses a cast-iron pan to achieve a flavorful char on the meat without the hassle of firing up the grill.

Chef Speed lived in the Arizona dessert for 16 years, learning about regional barbecue, Tex-Mex and traditional Mexican cuisines.

The dish he most associates with his old home is carne asada, which he said was often eaten at family barbecues, poolside grills and local Mexican restaurants.

Street Tacos Assembly

1 pack corn tortillas, store-bought or homemade
1 red onion, diced
1 bunch bunch cilantro, chopped
1 cotija or queso fresco cheese
1 limes for garnish
1-2 tsp oil

Directions

Carne Asada

Combine skirt steak, trimmed of any unwanted fat, and all carne asada ingredients in a medium-size mixing bowl.
Rub the marinade into the skirt steak, mixing thoroughly and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or preferably overnight.
Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add a little oil. You want your pan hot enough to sear the steak well on both sides.
Remove marinated steak from fridge and let it come to room temp. Cook steak on both sides for 1–2 minutes for medium rare, or 3–4 minutes per side for medium well.
Remove steak from the pan and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain and chopping.

Chipotle Salsa

Prepare all salsa ingredients as listed.
Pulse ingredients in food processor or blender starting with vegetables, then garlic and salt, and finally lime juice.
Blend to desired consistency and transfer to serving bowl.
TIP: Can be refrigerated up to 1 week in airtight container.
