Marinated Skirt Steak Burritos Recipes

MACHACA BURRITOS

Steps:

• Combine all marinade ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag. Close the bag and shake well to combine. Add the skirt steak making sure each piece is well coated with the marinade.
• Place the plastic bag with steak and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.
• Allow the meat to come to room temperature before cooking. Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Discard marinade.
• In a large, heavy pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Sear the meat on all sides, a few pieces at a time.
• Transfer the meat to a plate or platter and set aside. Without cleaning the pan, add the onions, peppers, garlic, and chilies (if using). Saute for approximately 5 minutes.
• Add the beef broth, tomatoes, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Return the meat and any collected juices to the pan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and cover. Simmer slowly until the meat is very tender, about 2 hours.
• Remove the meat to a cutting board and allow it to rest until cool enough to handle - about 15 minutes.
• Continue cooking the onion and pepper mixture until most of the liquid has evaporated.
• Using your fingers or two forks shred the meat. Return the shredded meat to the pot, stir to combine and cook until the meat is very hot.
• Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or the microwave. Place about 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture in the center of each tortilla. Add sour cream, salsa, cilantro, and lime juice if desired.

CHURRASCO (GRILLED MARINATED SKIRT STEAK)

Steps:

• Pat the steaks dry and place in a large zip-top bag.
• Combine the garlic, oregano, vinegar, olive oil, adobo seasoning and salt in the bowl of a pilón or mortar and pestle, or a small food processor. Grind into a thin paste, then pour the marinade over the steak. Zip the bag then shake well to coat the meat, rubbing in gently as needed. Let rest on the counter for 10 to 20 minutes, or refrigerate overnight if you have time. Be sure to let the steak come to room temperature before grilling.
• If using a charcoal grill, start by building a fire with hardwood and kindling, then adding lump hardwood charcoal once the fire is kicking. Allow the fire to mellow. If using a gas grill, set the temperature to 500 degrees.
• Meanwhile, make the wasakaka: Combine the lime juice, parsley, cilantro, oregano, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl and whisk to incorporate. If you'd like a creamier sauce, blend in a small food processor or blender. (Wasakaka will keep for 3 or 4 days in a sealed jar in the refrigerator.)
• Once the grill is ready, remove skirt steak from the bag and shake off excess marinade. Place on the grill and sear for 1 to 3 minutes. Using tongs, pull up the corner to ensure the steak has a good dark char, bordering on burned in places, before flipping, then cook for 1 more minute for rare, 2 minutes for medium-rare. Be careful not to overcook or steak will be tough.
• Remove steak from grill and let rest for 5 to 7 minutes. Slice into strips and pour over wasakaka, or serve sauce on the side. Taste and sprinkle with additional salt, if desired.
