Ingredients

• 1 lb Skirt steak
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Smoked paprika
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 8 pieces Corn tortillas
• 1 medium White onion, diced
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 large Lime, cut into wedges
• 1 medium Avocado, sliced (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the skirt steak in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it’s well-coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for extra flavor.

Step 3

Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Grill the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your desired doneness.

Step 5

Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice it thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.

Step 6

Warm the corn tortillas by heating them on a dry skillet or directly over a flame for 15-20 seconds per side, until pliable.

Step 7

Assemble the tacos by layering sliced steak on each tortilla. Top with diced onion, chopped cilantro, and any optional avocado slices.

Step 8

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
