Marinated Skirt Steak with Chipotle

We love steak! All cuts are great but given we eat steak medium to medium well, this cut is easier to make without smoking up the whole house!

Marinade:
1/4 cup Olive Oil
1 Chipotle pepper in Adobo Sauce
1 lime
5 cloves Garlic smashed and chopped
1 package Goya seasoning

Steak:
Vegetable Oil
1 lb Skirt Steak (Hangar steak would work also)
Salt and Pepper to taste

Combine Olive Oil, Chipotle Pepper with approx 1/4 cup sauce, juice of 1 Lime, Garlic and Goya seasoning in large ziploc bag. Marinate steak in refrigerator for at least 4 hours. Take out of refrigerator approx 30 minutes before cooking to bring to room temperature.

Heat pan over high heat and add vegetable oil once hot. While pan heating, remove steak from marinade and wipe off extra. Salt and Pepper liberally and add to pan before oil begins to smoke. Lower heat to medium high and cook 3 minutes on each side.


Finish in 375 degree oven if you like your steak done more than medium. Cooking times vary even in thickness of this fairly thin steak.
