Steak
- 2–pound skirt steak
- 3/4 cup Traeger Prime Rib Rub
Marinade
- Juice of 2 fresh limes
- Juice of 2 medium lemons
- Juice of 3 medium oranges
- 1/2 cup fresh chopped cilantro
- 3 minced cloves garlic
- 1/2 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 minced jalapeño
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- Make the skirt steak marinade. Combine the lime juice, lemon juice, orange juice, cilantro, cumin, jalapeno, olive oil, black pepper, and salt, and stir properly to dissolve the salt.
- Remove any excess fat from your cut of meat and then put it in a resealable bag. Take the marinade and coat the steak before marinating it in the refrigerator for two hours.
- Drain and discard the marinade. Season your skirt steak on all sides with your Traeger Prime Rib Rub. Allow the steak to rest for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the Traeger grill to 225℉ and keep the lid closed for 10-15 minutes. For the best results, use Traeger’s Super Smoke mode.
- Put the seasoned skirt steak on the grill grates and cook the steak for around 45 minutes with the lid closed.
- Remove the smoked skirt steak from the heat. Crank up the Traeger’s temperature to 450°F. Preheat the grill for 15 minutes with the lid closed.
- Return your meat to the grill and sear for about 2 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature of the skirt steak reaches your desired level of doneness (135℉ for medium rare).
- Pull the carne asada Traeger skirt steak off the grill and allow it to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
