Ingredients

• Skirt steak (arrachera) - 400 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lime juice - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Red bell pepper - 1, sliced
• Zucchini - 1, sliced
• Red onion - 1/2, sliced
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Place the skirt steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
3. While the steak marinates, prepare the vegetables by slicing the red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion.
4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade.
5. Place the arrachera on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached.
6. During the last 5 minutes of grilling, add the sliced vegetables to the grill, turning occasionally until they are tender and slightly charred.
7. Remove the steak and vegetables from the grill, let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing against the grain.
8. Serve the sliced arrachera with the grilled vegetables and garnish with fresh cilantro.
