Ingredients

Steak:

  • 2 Flank Steaks or Skirt Steaks
  • 2 tsp of Sea Salt to finish

Marinade:

  • 2 tbsp of Hatch Chile Rub (Or 1 tbsp Cumin, 2 tsp Sea Salt and 1 tsp Black Pepper)
  • 6 oz of Amber Beer
  • ¼ cup of White Vinegar
  • ½ cup of White Onion Diced
  • ¼ cup of Cilantro
  • 10 cloves of Garlic
  • 1 Navel Orange juiced
  • 3 Limes juiced
  • 1 Jalapeno sliced

Instructions

  • At room temperature, score the outside of flank steak. In a blender, add all ingredients for marinade and blend thoroughly. Add flank steak to a glass container or plastic bag and fill with marinade. Let sit in the fridge for 2-5 hours.
  • Using Cowboy Charcoal, fill two chimneys full of coals, light and let preheat for 15 minutes. Pour coals into the grill, add a few chunks of Mesquite wood and place into one pile for direct cooking.
  • Add your steak to the grill and cook for 7-8 minutes per side or until it reaches 120F internal for medium rare. Once done, pull the steak off the grill and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Slice steak against the grain at an angle, top with sea salt and enjoy!
