Jalapeño Skirt Steak Marinade

By Joelene

Ingredients

• 1 jalapeño, seeded and diced
• 3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1 cup Tecate beer
• 16 ounces skirt steak

Preparation

Step 1

To make marinade, add all ingredients except steak in a blender and puree. Pour the marinade into a resealable bag and add steak. Close the bag tightly, removing the air from the bag. Massage the marinade thoroughly into the meat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours. For the best flavor, marinate overnight.

Remove steaks from the refrigerator about 1 hour before grilling. Heat grill on medium-high. Lightly oil grates and place steak over direct heat. Grill 3-4 minutes on each side for medium rare. Remove and allow to rest for 3-5 minutes. Slice against the grain and serve.

Makes 4 servings.
