FAJITA STEAK

Category: Beef Steaks

1 small white onion, chopped coarsely
1 garlic clove, peeled and roughly chopped
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/2 tsp salt
1 lb beef skirt steak or flank steak, trimmed of surface fat

In a food processor, combine one-quarter of onion, garlic, lime juice, cumin and salt. Process to a smooth paste. Place skirt steak in a non-aluminum baking dish. Using a spoon, smear marinade over both sides of skirt steak.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours. Remove steak from marinade. Oil steak well on both sides and lay it over hottest part of grill. Grill, turning once, until richly browned and done to your liking, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side for medium-rare.
