Fajita Marinade
This is from Tyler Florence, and I use it for flank steak and chicken, with rave reviews! I have also marinaded the meats over night as well.
ingredients
- 1 orange, juiced
- 2 limes, juiced
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
- 3 chipolte chiles, in adobo sauce
- 3 tablespoon roughly chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/4 pounds skirt or flank steak, trimmed of fat cut into thirds or 8-inch pieces
- Salt and pepper
directions
- 1
In a small 2 cup measuring cup, or something similar size and shape, combine all the marinade ingredients. Using an immersion blender, puree the marinade until smooth. Transfer to a re-sealable plastic bag and add the steak, seal and shake to coat. Refrigerate the beef for 2 to 4 hours to tenderize and flavor the beef.

Preheat a ridged grill pan on high heat.

Drain the marinade from the beef. Lightly oil the grill or grill pan. Season liberally with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Grill the steak over medium-high heat and cook for 4 minutes on each side and then transfer to a cutting board and let rest. Depending on the size of your grill pan you may need to cook in batches.
