Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the sour orange juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, 30ml of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place the skirt steak in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, turning the steak once halfway through.
⏱️ 4 hours (minimum) - 2
Prepare the grill: Preheat your grill to high heat (approximately 230-260°C / 450-500°F). Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 3
Grill the steak: Remove the steak from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the used marinade. Place the steak on the hot grill. Grill for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness. Look for a good sear and nice char marks. The internal temperature should reach 55-57°C (130-135°F) for medium-rare.
⏱️ 8-12 minutes - 4
Rest the steak: Transfer the grilled steak to a cutting board. Tent loosely with foil and let it rest for at least 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 5
Caramelize the onions: While the steak is resting, heat the remaining 30ml of olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until they are deeply golden brown and sweet, about 15-20 minutes. Be patient; low and slow is key to caramelization.
⏱️ 15-20 minutes - 6
Slice and serve: Slice the rested steak against the grain into thin strips. Arrange the sliced steak on a platter. Top generously with the caramelized onions. Serve immediately with warm tostones.
