How to Make Steak Fajitas Citrus Garlic Chile Marinated Skirt Steak
- **Make the marinade:** In a large shallow baking dish, whisk together 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 tablespoons orange juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1-2 serrano chiles, finely minced (adjust to your spice preference), 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, and salt and pepper to taste.
- **Marinate the steak:** Add 1.5 lbs skirt steak to the marinade, ensuring it's fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
- **Prep the grill:** Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- **Prepare the steak:** Remove the steak from the refrigerator 15 minutes before grilling to allow it to come to room temperature.
- **Grill the steak:** Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for 5 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temperature of 135°F). For a more well-done steak, increase grilling time accordingly, checking temperature with an instant-read thermometer.
- **Rest and slice:** Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
- **Assemble the fajitas:** Warm flour tortillas. Divide the sliced steak among the tortillas. Top with your favorite fixings such as pico de gallo, sour cream, grilled onions, and bell peppers.
- **Serve immediately and enjoy!** Makes 6 servings.
