Description
Chipotle Adobo Skirt Steak is a bold, smoky, and tangy beef dish marinated in pureed chipotles, lime juice, and warm spices, then grilled or rotisserie-cooked for a tender, restaurant-worthy steak with deep flavor.
Ingredients
2 skirt steaks, trimmed of silver skin
1 can chipotles in adobo sauce, pureed
1 1/2 tablespoons sea salt
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 1/2 limes, juiced
Olive oil, for drizzling
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.
