Bold Grilled Skirt Steak
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup cumin seeds
  • 5 jalapeno peppers, seeds and ribs removed, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
  • 1/3 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 1/2 cups olive oil
  • 2 bunches cilantro (leaves and stems)
  • 1 (3 pound) skirt or flank steak
Instructions
1
Heat a medium-sized pan over low-medium heat and toast the cumin seeds for 5 minutes, or until they emit a pleasant aroma.
2
Combine the toasted cumin seeds, jalapenos, garlic, pepper, lime juice, and salt in a blender. Use the blender to finely grind these ingredients together until they reach a uniform consistency. Add the oil and cilantro, then continue blending until you achieve a smooth mixture.
3
Prepare the meat by carefully making shallow cuts on both sides using a knife. This will allow the marinade to penetrate evenly.
4
Place the meat in a large, clean container or bag, and pour the marinade over it. Ensure that the meat is fully coated with the marinade.
5
Refrigerate the meat for 24 to 48 hours, allowing it to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
6
Preheat your grill for high heat and lightly brush the grates with oil to prevent sticking.
7
Remove the meat from the marinade, discarding any remaining liquid. Cook on high heat for 1 to 2 minutes per side, searing the meat until it's nicely browned. Reduce heat to low and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until the meat reaches your desired level of doneness.
