Santa Maria Skirt Steak
Simple but flavorful, this steak preparation can be applied to any cut of beef you like. Skirt steak, flank steak, or tri-trip roast are my favorites here. I like to serve this with a bit of homemade Pico de Gallo or even store-bought salsa and a bright salad for a full meal.
Servings: 5
Calories: 355kcal
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 pound skirt steak flank steak, or beef tri-tip roast
- 1/8 teaspoon liquid smoke optional, if you want a smoky taste
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon celery salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Rub the beef with liquid smoke, if using. Combine remaining seasonings in a small bowl and sprinkle evenly all over the meat, ensuring that it is evenly coated. Refrigerate overnight or at least 4 hours.
- Heat a large cast iron pan over medium-medium high. When hot, add a bit of avocado oil and when the oil is hot, add the skirt steak, pressing to ensure good contact with the pan for the best sear. Cook fro about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain for the most tender result.
Notes
For a tri-tip, grill or roast in the oven.
