Time 5h40m

Yield 12 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup fresh lime juice
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup beer
1 1/4 lbs skirt steaks (or flank steak)
5 -6 poblano peppers
2 jalapeno peppers
1 white onion, sliced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 garlic clove, crushed
vegetable oil
12 (6 inch) tortillas (corn or flour)
pico de gallo
guacamole

Steps:

  • To make the marinade: Combine the lime juice, garlic, salt, beer and meat in a large zip-top bag. Close the bag and shake it to coat the meat. Marinate at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • To make the rajas: Char the chiles directly over a gas or electric burner, under a broiler, or on a very hot outdoor grill. Place in a plastic bag for 5 minutes and gently remove the skins, seeds and stems. Slice the chiles into 1/4-inch strips.
  • In a medium saute pan over medium-high heat, saute the onion in the oil and butter until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and chile strips.
  • Saute for 5 minutes.
  • Remove the steak from the marinade, and dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of the steaks with the oil.
  • Preheat the oven to 350º. Preheat a gas grill or indoor grill to high.
  • Place the steak on the hottest part of the grill. Grill the steak turning once, for about 4 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare, longer if desired.
  • Let the steak rest for 10 minutes, then cut into thin strips across the grain, then into 3 to 4-inch pieces.
  • Arrange the tortillas into two stacks of six. Wrap each stack in foil, and heat them in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes or until heated through and pliable. If the tortillas are dry, wrap them in a slightly damp paper towel before wrapping in foil.
  • To serve, place a few slices of meat into each warm tortilla, top with rajas, pico de gallo and guacamole.

Tips:

  • To make the skirt steak more flavorful, marinate it in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, cumin, and chili powder for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
  • To grill the skirt steak perfectly, cook it over high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare.
  • To make the roasted poblano rajas, first roast the poblano peppers until they are charred and blistered. Then, remove the skin and seeds from the peppers and cut them into thin strips.
  • To make the guacamole, simply mash the avocados until they are smooth and creamy. Then, add the onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt to taste.
  • To assemble the tacos, simply place a grilled skirt steak slice on a tortilla and top it with roasted poblano rajas, guacamole, and your favorite salsa.

Conclusion:

These grilled skirt steak tacos with roasted poblano rajas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a party.
