The Barbeque Season Starts
Nowadays, most Americans celebrate Memorial Day as the official kick-off of Barbeque Season. Get ready to warm up the coals, pull out the cooler, and create a spread of summer salads and side dishes.
Mesquite-Grilled Steak Fajitas
2 pounds skirt steak (we used flank steak)
Agua Negra Marinade (recipe follows)
To marinate the steaks, place the meat in a resealable container. Pour the marinade over the meat, and move the meat around to make sure that it is evenly covered. Marinate in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 hours.
To grill the steak, start the coals in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill. Place the beef on the grill and leave undisturbed until grill marks form, then rotate the meat 90 degrees to create a second set of marks. After 2 to 3 minutes, turn the beef to cook the other side. Transfer the beef to a work surface and slice.
Serves 4.
Agua Negra Marinade
1 cup soy sauce
2 cups pineapple juice
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
Combine all ingredients with a whisk in a mixing bowl, making sure to break up any lumps of spices. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Makes about 3 1/4 cups.
Make sure your grill is in tip top condition. Check those Burners, cooking grates (Grids) and heat plates and remember The BBQ Depot has the largest stock of Grill (BBQ) Parts around!
