This is the most requested main dish in my house. Everyone loves it and that is a rare thing indeed! These steaks are almost too simple to believe and they turn out great every single time. So tender and flavorful - you just can't mess them up! The adobo seasoning is quite salty, so keep that in mind as you season the steaks.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 ½ pounds skirt steak, trimmed and cut into 2 1/2-inch wide pieces

  • 1 teaspoon adobo seasoning, or to taste

  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon butter

Directions

  1. Season skirt steak pieces all over with adobo seasoning.

  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steak in hot oil and butter, turning often, until steak begins to firm, and is reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 6 to 8 minutes.

Cook's Note:

I usually end up popping them in the microwave on a microwaveable serving platter for another minute or two to prevent over-browning, yet assuring that they are done all the way through.
