Typical Mexican flank steak, marinated, then cooked rapidly at high heat, and splashed with the zing of fresh lime-que delisioso!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs skirt steaks
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
coarse salt
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Directions:
1. If necessary, trim steak, leaving some fat.
2. In shallow dish, rub steaks with garlic and oil.
3. Marinate steaks,covered and chilled, at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day.
4. Prepare grill.
5. Season steaks generously with coarse salt and grill on a rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals 2 to 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
6. (Alternatively, steaks may be broiled on rack of a broiler pan under a preheated broiler 3 inches from heat about 4 minutes on each side.) Transfer steaks to a cutting board and drizzle with lime juice.
7. Let steaks stand, uncovered, 5 to 10 minutes and with a sharp knife cut diagonally across grain into thin slices.
8. Garnish with grilled onions, serve with tortillas, refried beans and rice.
