The Plate... 

Beer Marinated Skirt 

This is so easy and good, It'll make your "ice" water. It's the perfect thing for that Cinco de Mayo fiesta your gonna throw later this week. 

What you need... 

2 lbs of Skirt Steak
1 orange / thinly sliced
1 yellow onion / sliced
4 cloves of garlic / smashed and halved
Salt and pepper
1 cup Mexican beer (hey you gotta stay with the theme)
1/2 cup Soy sauce

What you do...

Lay the orange slices, onion and garlic across the bottom of a baking dish.

Rub the steak with salt and pepper then put on top of the oranges, onions and garlic.

Now add another layer of orange, onion and garlic on top of the steak.

Pour in the beer and Soy sauce.

Cover with plastic wrap and marinate for 1 hour at room temp ( you can also make ahead and marinate overnight in the fridge).

Get your grill heated to med-high. 

Take the meat out of the marinade and grill for about 4 minutes per side. 

It doesn't take long so don't over do it. 

Slice thin and garnish with orange slices and limes.
