Here’s how you do it:

Start by liberally salting your skirt steaks with rock salt on both sides. We didn’t have anything but coarse sea salt, so that’s what we used. Let it sit out for 30 minutes so it comes to room temperature.

Place your meat onto a preheated grill and….

douse with a little water. Water is the secret ingredient!! It helps the salt dissolve into the meat so it’s completely seasoned all the way through.

Turn the meat over, add on more water and more salt. Keep flipping the meat every few minutes using the water dousing-salt sprinkling method each time you turn it until it’s cooked to your liking.

Remove from the grill, cover with foil and rest 10 minutes before slicing across the grain.

Serve it up in warm corn and flour tortillas with sour cream, avocado, cheese, pico de gallo and my Grilled Corn Salsa. They seriously tasted like they were from a restaurant. So so good! All our friends agreed, these were ridiculous.

So, happy birthday Gord! Lets not wait until next year to make these again 🙂

1x2x3x

• 2 lbs skirt steak about 1/2 inch thick
• water
• coarse sea salt
• 1 recipe Grilled Corn Salsa*
• pico de gallo
• warmed corn tortillas or flour tortillas
• sour cream
• grated cheese
• blue cheese if you're feeling adventurous
• avocado
• cilantro
• any other desired toppings

Instructions

 

• Remove skirt steaks from fridge and bring to room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Preheat outdoor grill to a medium flame.
• Generously sprinkle both sides of meat with salt and massage into meat. Place on grill and douse with a little water. This will help the salt dissolve and seep into the meat. Once the one side is browned well with grill marks, turn over, sprinkle on more water and salt. Cook this side until browned and grill marks appear.
• Continue turning, dousing and sprinkling until meat is cooked to desired doneness. Remove from grill, cover with foil and rest 7-10 minutes.
• Slice across the grain into thin slices. Serve in warm tortillas with corn salsa, pico, and any other desired toppings.
