Chipotle Seasoning
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle chilis
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper optional for added heat
Preheat. Set your grill to High heat (400-450 degrees F) for direct grilling.
Trim. Remove any excess fat or silver skin left on the skirt steak (the stuff that runs in between the muscle is fine).
1 1-2 pound skirt steak
Season. Coat liberally with the chipotle seasoning, using your fingers to press the rub into the meat.
1 Tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle chilis, 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
Grill. Place the steak on the grill grates directly over the heat and grill for 3-4 minutes per side. Stay close and monitor until the internal temperature reaches 125-135 degrees F. You won't have much carryover with this, so take it off right when you hit the correct temp.
Rest. Remove the steak when it has reached your desired doneness. Rest for 10 minutes.
Slice, serve, and enjoy. Slice against the grain by cutting the long steak into three shorter sections first and then cutting into thin strips. Enjoy with your family and friends, and revel in the joy of being a BBQ hero.
