Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb skirt steak
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 ripe avocados
- 2 tbsp fresh oregano leaves
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 0.25 red onion
- 1 jalapeño
- 1 tsp honey
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper to create the spice rub.
Rub the skirt steak with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then generously coat with the spice rub on all sides. Set aside to marinate for 10-15 minutes while preparing the relish.
For the avocado oregano relish, scoop the flesh of the avocados into a medium bowl. Mash lightly with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.
Finely chop the red onion, jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat, if desired), fresh oregano, and cilantro. Add them to the bowl with the avocados.
Stir in lime juice, honey, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed, then set aside.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Grill the skirt steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time to your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Serve with a generous spoonful of avocado oregano relish on top or on the side.
Optional: Garnish with additional cilantro leaves and lime wedges for extra freshness.
