Steps:

• Combine onion, cilantro, lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, oregano, red pepper flakes, and garlic in a large bowl.
• Place steak in a baking pan and pour marinade on top. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 to 4 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Grill steak 2 to 4 minutes per side, to desired doneness. Allow meat to rest 5 to 10 minutes before slicing against the grain into 1/4-inch slices.
• Add meat to tortillas and top with your favorite toppings.

CHILI-RUBBED SKIRT STEAK TACOS

Steps:

• Lightly oil a grill pan and preheat over medium-high heat.
• Rub chili powder on both sides of steak and season generously with salt. Place steak on grill pan and cook, turning once, about 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let stand for 5 minutes.
• Heat a comal or cast-iron griddle over medium heat. Heat tortillas on comal, 1 or 2 at a time. Transfer to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you warm remaining tortillas.
• Holding a sharp knife at a 45-degree angle, cut steak across the grain into thin strips. Place a warmed tortilla on work surface; top with 2 or 3 strips of steak and a generous spoonful of guacamole. Repeat process with remaining steak, tortillas, and guacamole; serve.

CHILE-RUBBED SKIRT STEAK TACOS

Steps:

• On a work surface, crush garlic cloves using the flat side of a large knife; sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Place the flat side of the knife blade on top of the garlic and salt; press firmly, pulling knife toward you. Repeat until a paste forms; transfer to a small bowl. Add chile powder, brown sugar, paprika, cumin, pepper, espresso, and remaining tablespoon salt; stir to combine.
• Rub mixture all over skirt steak, and place in a large freezer bag to marinate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wrap tortillas in parchment-paper-lined aluminum foil; while grilling steak, bake tortillas until warmed through, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Preheat grill pan over high heat, or use an outdoor grill. Place steak on grill, and cook for 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve thinly sliced steak in warmed tortillas; top with salsa, cilantro, cheese, sour cream, lettuce, and lime wedges, if desired.

TECATE SKIRT-STEAK TACOS

Steps:

• Combine steak, beer, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a resealable plastic bag. Seal; chill 3 hours.
• Cook onion, garlic, and oil in a small skillet over medium heat until soft and translucent, 5 minutes. Let cool.
• Prepare a grill for high heat (if using charcoal, prepare two zones of heat, high and medium-high). Grill tomatoes over high heat, turning occasionally, until well charred but still holding their shape, 6-8 minutes.
• Reduce grill to medium-high heat (or use medium-high zone if using a charcoal grill). Remove steak from marinade and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper and grill until charred, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let steak rest 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, blend onion and garlic, tomatoes, chipotle, and remaining 3 tablespoons lime juice in a blender until smooth. Add chopped cilantro, season with salt, and pulse until just combined. Transfer salsa to a small bowl.
• Grill tortillas until soft and beginning to char, about 30 seconds per side. Slice steak against the grain into 1/2" trips. Top each tortilla with a few pieces of steak, then some salsa, cilantro leaves, avocado, and Cotija cheese. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
