How to Prepare Skirt Steak with Lime and Chipotle Sauce
To begin, mix the honey with the chipotle chiles in adobo, Dijon mustard, lime juice, chopped garlic cloves, cumin, allspice, and cilantro. This combination will create a marinade full of flavor and aroma.
Season to taste with salt and fresh pepper, making sure to balance the flavors so the steak is perfectly seasoned.
Marinate the skirt steak in this mixture and let it rest for at least one hour so the flavors penetrate the meat deeply.
Then, strain the marinade into a small saucepan and simmer until it boils, thus concentrating its flavors into a delicious sauce.
Grill the steak, continuously basting it with the marinade to keep the meat juicy and enhance the smoky flavor with the spicy touch of chipotle.
Finally, slice the steak against the grain for a more tender texture and pour the remaining marinade over the meat before serving. Enjoy this dish that combines the intensity of the skirt steak with a citrusy and spicy sauce that will delight your palate.
