Source: Bon Appetit, September 2004
- 1 pound skirt steak (or flank steak)
- kosher salt
- 1 1/2 tsp chipotle chile powder
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice (more to taste)
- 6 green onions
- 2 ears of corn, husked
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tsp finel grated lime peel
- 8 5-6 inch corn tortillas
Prepare BBQ, set to medium-high heat. Divide steak into 4 pieces and sprinkle both sides of each piece with salt and 1 1/4 tsp chile powder. Whisk 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp lime juice in a 11×7 inch glass dish. Add meat and turn to coat; place in a single layer and marinate for 15 minutes. Grill to desired doneness, approximately 2 1/2 minutes per side for medium. Let rest at least 5 minutes.
Garnish : Brush green onions and corn with 1 tbsp oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until slightly charred, turning occassionally, about 2 minutes for onions, 7 minutes for corn. Cut the corn from the cob, coarsely chop green onions and place in a bowl. Stir in cilantro, lime peel and remaining chile powder, oil and lime juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Assemble steak and garnish in corn tortillas. Enjoy!
