Anita’s Mexican style Grilled Steak for Quesadillas or Burritos

Delicious spiced-rubbed tender skirt steak. Assemble carne asada (grilled steak) into a quesadilla, burrito or have on its own over salad. “No Worries”, you don’t feel like grilling? Use a cast iron  pan instead. Enjoy!   

Ingredients

1 pound skirt steak, cut in long stripes

1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

1 Tablespoon olive oil

1 Tablespoon of Adobo seasoning

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preparing the outdoor Grill

1. Heat grill to 400 grades Fahrenheit. Rub the grate with vegetable oil using a grill brush.
2. Place the steaks on the grill and cook until medium well or rare (optional), on one side until seared for about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn steak over and sear other side for about 2 minutes.
3. Remove from the grill. Cover with foil paper to retain steak’s liquid. Let it rest for about 8 to 10 minutes.
4. Slice steak across the grain of the meat, in long thin stripes.

Serving skirt steak (choices)
