Ingredients

• 1 lb skirt steak
• 1 tbsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 ripe avocados
• 2 tbsp fresh oregano leaves
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• 0.25 red onion
• 1 jalapeño
• 1 tsp honey
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper to create the spice rub.

Step 2

Rub the skirt steak with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then generously coat with the spice rub on all sides. Set aside to marinate for 10-15 minutes while preparing the relish.

Step 3

For the avocado oregano relish, scoop the flesh of the avocados into a medium bowl. Mash lightly with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.

Step 4

Finely chop the red onion, jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat, if desired), fresh oregano, and cilantro. Add them to the bowl with the avocados.

Step 5

Stir in lime juice, honey, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed, then set aside.

Step 6

Preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Grill the skirt steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time to your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 8

Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Serve with a generous spoonful of avocado oregano relish on top or on the side.

Step 9

Optional: Garnish with additional cilantro leaves and lime wedges for extra freshness.
