Skirt Steak Fajitas


I was watching the Food Network this morning and somebody was making Fajitas out of a skirt steak. I was really disappointed on how she put everything together. So, I hopped into the car, drove to the butcher and bought a nice skirt steak for myself. I put this together and I think it'll be awesome.

Marinade:

1/4 C Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 C Red wine vinegar
4 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce (tamari)
4 cloves garlic
1 tomatillo
2 chipotle peppers
1/2 medium white onion
1 lime - zested and juiced
1/2 bunch cilantro
2 Tbsp common taco seasoning
2 Tbsp chili powder
1 Tbsp mace
1 Tbsp cumin
black pepper

Pull the steak out flat on a cutting board and put it in the freezer while you're assembling the remaining ingredients. Everything into the food processor and blend extremely well. Once the steak has been in the freezer for about 15 minutes, take it out and cut it into strips at a bias against the grain. Put each strip into a bowl and once it's been completely cut up, pour the marinade over on top. With your hands, mix the meat extremely well to make sure it's very well coated. Cover the bowl and let it sit in the marinade at room temperature for one day.

Grill the strips and serve with your favorite toppings.

Enjoy!
