Chili-Rubbed Skirt Steak Tacos image

This flavorful steak taco recipe from actress Eva Longoria's book "Eva's Kitchen" makes an authentic Mexican entree or appetizer.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 6

Canola oil, for grilling
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 pounds skirt steak
Coarse salt
12 homemade or store-bought Homemade Corn Tortillas
Chunky Guacamole with Serrano Peppers

Steps:

  • Lightly oil a grill pan and preheat over medium-high heat.
  • Rub chili powder on both sides of steak and season generously with salt. Place steak on grill pan and cook, turning once, about 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Heat a comal or cast-iron griddle over medium heat. Heat tortillas on comal, 1 or 2 at a time. Transfer to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you warm remaining tortillas.
  • Holding a sharp knife at a 45-degree angle, cut steak across the grain into thin strips. Place a warmed tortilla on work surface; top with 2 or 3 strips of steak and a generous spoonful of guacamole. Repeat process with remaining steak, tortillas, and guacamole; serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of steak. Skirt steak is a flavorful cut of beef that is perfect for grilling. It is important to choose a skirt steak that is at least 1 inch thick so that it can withstand the heat of the grill.
  • Make sure the steak is well-seasoned. Chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt are all essential spices for a good chili rub. You can also add other spices to taste, such as paprika, oregano, or cayenne pepper.
  • Let the steak rest before grilling. This will allow the flavors of the rub to penetrate the meat. You can rest the steak for up to 30 minutes at room temperature before grilling.
  • Grill the steak over high heat. This will help to create a nice char on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside juicy. Cook the steak for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
  • Let the steak rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful. You can rest the steak for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Chili-rubbed skirt steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. By following these tips, you can make sure that your steak is cooked perfectly and full of flavor. So fire up your grill and get cooking!
