Skirt Steak Fajitas Marinade Recipe.

It is a wonderful recipe for a dinner party. One pound of skirt steak will feed four people, so just scale up the meat if you want more servings. This marinade recipe is enough for 12 1-pound steaks. If making one steak, freeze the rest of the marinade to use later.

Marinade time 1 hour
Servings 6 cups
Calories 114kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups pineapple juice
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon chopped garlic
  • 2 3/4 Tablespoon Brown sugar
  • 9 ounces orange juice
  • 1 3/4 ounces lime juice
  • 1 3/4 cups water
  • 1 3/4 Tablespoons kosher salt

Instructions

  • Mix all marinade ingredients. Set aside a portion of marinade to drizzle on top of your meat after cooking.
  • Marinate skirt steak in four ounces (1/2 cup) of the marinade for one hour. (For every pound of meat, use four ounces of marinade.) If using a larger thicker flank steak, marinade for 2 hours.
  • Remove meat from marinade and grill on a hot grill until medium/medium rare or your doneness preference. Keep in mind that residual heat will continue to cook the meat as it rests.
  • Remove from grill and let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Cut meat against the grain, drizzle with some reserved marinade and serve with your favorite accompaniments like a “build your own fajita taco.”
  • Serve alongside grilled vegetables. We like sweet yellow onions, red and green peppers, and roma tomatoes.
  • At the restaurant, we also serve our fajitas with warmed homemade tortillas, black beans, Spanish rice, pico de gallo and guacamole.

Notes

This fajitas marinade recipe is a restaurant recipe used to prepare steak fajitas to feed a crowd. It makes six cups of marinade, or enough to marinade 12 steaks. 
I only cooked one steak. And used only 1/2 cup of the marinade. I simply placed the the remainder of the marinade in a freezable container to use for later fajita recipes.
For flank steak, marinade for two hours.
For skirt steak, marinade for 1 hour.
This recipe is compliments of the Popular Denver Mexican Restaurant, The Rio Grande.
