     Grilled Skirt Steak (Arracheras)

Category   Entrees - Maindishes
Sub Category   None
Servings   6-8

Ingredients
2 1- to 1 1/4-lb. skirt steaks, trimmed of membrane and excess fat
1 12-oz. bottle or can beer
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 to 3 tbsp. chipotle hot sauce, such as Tabasco Chipotle Pepper Sauce, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 1/2 tablespoons coarse kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
3 large red onions, cut into 1/2-in.-thick slices
 
Vegetable-oil spray
12 flour tortillas (8 in. each), warmed
Lime wedges

Instructions
Cut each steak in half crosswise. Put in a large resealable plastic bag. Stir together beer, orange juice, lime juice, hot sauce, and garlic, then pour over steaks. Seal bag and refrigerate at least 5 hours and up to overnight. Prepare a gas or charcoal grill for medium-high heat (see Set Up Your Grill- Direct Grilling, below). Keep a spray bottle filled with water on hand for any flare-ups.
Drain meat and discard marinade. Blot dry with paper towels. Mix salt and cumin and rub into meat. Spray onions lightly with oil and set, with steaks, on a cleaned and oiled cooking grate. Do not cover. For medium-rare to medium doneness (cut to check), grill steaks 3 to 4 minutes per side if less than 1/2 in. thick; add 1 more minute per side if more than 1/2 in. thick. Turn steaks at least once while grilling (more if juice starts to pool on surface). Grill onions, turning once, until browned on both sides and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes total.
After removing steaks from grill, let rest 5 minutes (so juices redistribute through the meat) before slicing. With a sharp knife at a slight diagonal, cut across grain into thin strips. Serve meat and onions with tortillas, lime wedges, and hot sauce.
Set up your grill- Direct Grilling ON CHARCOAL- Ignite 75 to 85 briquets in a chimney starter (or on the fuel grate); open grill vents. When coals are coated with ash, spread into an even layer (if you like, leave a small area empty to create a cooler zone). Check heat- If you can hold your hand 1 or 2 in. above cooking-grate level only 1 to 2 seconds, that's high heat. For medium-high heat, wait until you can hold your hand there only 2 to 3 seconds. ON GAS- Turn all burners to high, close lid, and heat for 15 minutes. Then adjust to desired heat.
