Authentic Arrachera (Mexican Skirt Steak Tacos)
Ingredients
  • 2 pounds thinly sliced skirt steaks (arrachera)
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 3 (.18 ounce) packets sazon with coriander and annatto
  • 1 tablespoon adobo seasoning (such as Goya® All-Purpose Seasoning with Cumin)
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) bottle Mexican beer
Instructions
1
Lay a single layer of steak flat in a shallow casserole dish.
2
Distribute a proportionate amount of lime juice, a blend of sazón and adobo seasoning evenly over the steak.
3
Sprinkle chopped onion pieces in a uniform layer on top of the seasoned steak.
4
Continue alternating layers of steak and onion until all pieces are coated with the seasoning blend.
5
Pour a generous amount of beer over the mixture to prevent drying out.
6
Store the casserole in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour and a maximum of 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
7
Heat a grill to a medium-high temperature, ensuring it reaches the desired heat level for optimal grilling results.
8
Discard any excess marinade, as it is no longer necessary for the grilling process.
9
Grill the steak over medium-high heat, allowing it to develop a light char on the outside while remaining slightly tender in the center for medium doneness, approximately 6 to 7 minutes per side.
