Marinate skirt steak in fresh citrus juice and a few savory seasonings to make this marvelous meat perfect for tacos and more.
Ingredients
- ½ cup fresh-squeezed orange juice

- 5 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ancho chili powder
- ½ teaspoon dried Mexican oregano

Preparation
Whisk together all ingredients except for the beef, then immerse meat and marinate in the refrigerator for 4–8 hours.
Remove beef from marinade, pat dry, and bring to room temperature 30 minutes before grilling.
Grill beef over very high heat for 3–4 minutes per side. Do not cook past medium or the meat will become tough.
