Recipe Instructions
1
To prepare the marinade, combine the cilantro, garlic, lime juice, olive oil, coconut aminos, and honey in a large bowl. Add cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix well.
2
Reserve 3 tablespoons of the marinade in a separate small bowl. Cut the skirt steak into 10–12 inch pieces.
3
Add the steak to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours.
4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the steak on the grill and cook for 45 seconds. Rotate 90 degrees for grill marks, then flip and repeat. Use a ThermoPro TP19 to check the internal temperature.
5
Skirt steak is best at 130°F (54°C) as it continues cooking off the grill. For more doneness, grill up to medium-well.
6
Depending on the thickness of your steak, you may need to cook it slightly longer. Always check with a meat thermometer for accuracy.
7
Slice or chop the cooked steak and toss it into the reserved marinade for extra flavor.
8
Assemble your tacos with steak, tomato, lettuce, avocado, onion, and any other favorite toppings. Garnish with fresh cilantro and enjoy!
