Ingredients

2 skirt steaks, trimmed of silver skin

1 can chipotles in adobo sauce, pureed

Instructions

Place the skirt steaks in a large bowl.
Add the pureed chipotle adobo, sea salt, garlic powder, cumin, black pepper, lime juice, and a drizzle of olive oil.
Mix thoroughly to coat the steaks evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours.
Prepare a charcoal grill with a three-zone indirect heat setup or preheat a rotisserie.
Remove steaks from the marinade. Roll loosely and skewer onto the rotisserie, or place directly on the grill.
Cook over high heat until the internal temperature reaches about 120°F (49°C).
Remove from heat and allow the steak to rest for several minutes.
Season lightly with additional salt if desired, slice against the grain, and serve.

Notes

Do not marinate longer than 2 hours to avoid overpowering the meat.

Adjust spice level by using less chipotle adobo.

Slice against the grain for maximum tenderness.

Great served in tacos, bowls, or with grilled sides.
