Ingredients for Beer Marinated Grilled Skirt Steak

  • Orange
  • Onion
  • Garlic Cloves
  • Skirt Steaks
  • Kosher Salt
  • Fresh Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 cup beer (Mexican Lager recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

How to Make Beer Marinated Grilled Skirt Steak

  1. In a wide, shallow glass baking dish, scatter 4 orange slices, 1/2 cup thinly sliced onion, and 4 cloves of minced garlic.
  2. Season the 1-pound skirt steak generously with salt and pepper. Place the steak in the dish on top of the orange and onion slices.
  3. Scatter the remaining 4 orange slices, 1/2 cup thinly sliced onion, and 4 cloves of minced garlic over the steak. Pour 1 cup of beer (Mexican lager recommended) and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce over the steak.
  4. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and marinate for at least 1 hour at room temperature, or up to overnight in the refrigerator for maximum flavor.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (or preheat your broiler).
  6. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  7. Grill the steak for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches your preferred internal temperature (130-135°F for medium-rare).
  8. Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
  9. Slice the grilled skirt steak into thin strips.
  10. Serve the steak in tacos, topped with your favorite fillings such as shredded cheese, beans, salsa, cilantro, and onions.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
