DIRECTIONS
- At least 2.5 hours and up to the night before you plan to grill the fajitas, prepare the marinade, combining the ingredients in a medium bowl. Place the skirt steaks in a plastic bag, pour the marinade over them, and refrigerate.
- Remove the meat from teh refrigerator and drain it, blotting the surface of moisture. Combine the dry rub ingredients in a small bowl and coat the steaks with the rub. Let the steaks sit covered at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Fire up the grill, bringing the temperature to high (1-2 seconds with the hand test).
- Grill the meat uncovered over high heat for 4-5 minutes per side until rare to medium rare.
- Turn a minimum of three times, more often if juice begins to form on the surface.
- If grilling covered cook for 7 - 9 minutes, turning midway.
- Cut the steaks across the grain and diagonally into thin finger-length strips.
