Categories     main-dish

Time 1h27m

Yield 8 servings as fajita meat or 4 as main course

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup soy sauce
4 scallions, washed and cut in 1/2
2 large cloves garlic
1/4 cup lime juice
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar or Mexican brown sugar
2 pounds inside skirt steak, cut into 3 equal pieces

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Skirt Steak: Opt for a skirt steak that is about 1 inch thick and has a good amount of marbling. This will ensure a tender and flavorful quesadilla.
  • Marinate the Skirt Steak: Marinating the skirt steak helps tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. Use a marinade made with acidic ingredients like lime juice or vinegar, as well as herbs and spices. Marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Cook the Skirt Steak Properly: Skirt steak is best cooked over high heat for a short amount of time. This will help keep it tender and juicy. Grill, pan-sear, or broil the steak for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
  • Use High-Quality Cheese: The cheese you use in your quesadillas is important. Opt for a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor. Some good options include cheddar, Monterey Jack, pepper Jack, or Oaxaca cheese.
  • Add Other Fillings: In addition to cheese, you can also add other fillings to your quesadillas, such as grilled vegetables, beans, or cooked meat. This will make your quesadillas more flavorful and satisfying.
  • Serve with Salsa and Guacamole: Salsa and guacamole are classic accompaniments to quesadillas. They add flavor and freshness to the dish.

Conclusion:

Skirt steak quesadillas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. By following these tips, you can make sure that your quesadillas are tender, flavorful, and packed with your favorite fillings.
