INGREDIENTS
(makes 20 tacos)
- 2lb skirt steak
- 4 ancho chiles, de-stemmed
- 12oz of Mexico Calling Lager Especial beer
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 white onion, peeled and roughly chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt, to taste
- Corn tortillas
- Lime wedges
- Cilantro and white onion, chopped
- Sliced avocado
INSTRUCTIONS
- Combine the ancho chiles, Mexico Calling beer, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, onion, garlic, black pepper, cinnamon, oregano, cumin, and salt in a blender. Blend until smooth to create the adobo marinade.
- Strain the marinade through a medium mesh strainer for a smoother consistency.
- Place the skirt steak in a large, shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, making sure it’s well-coated. Seal or cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate.
- Preheat a grill to high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill the steak to your desired level of doneness, about 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on the thickness of the steak.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing against the grain into thin strips. Serve as desired, perhaps with corn tortillas, lime wedges, fresh cilantro and onion, or avocado.
