Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb. skirt steak
- 1 1/2 red onions, plus more for garnish
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp. Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 garlic cloves
- 5 medium tomatillos, husk removed
- 1 cup cilantro, chopped, plus more for garnish
- 2 Limes, juiced
- 3 scallions, chopped
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1/2 cup seedless cucumbers, sliced
Directions
- Step 1In the bowl of a slow cooker, add the skirt steak, 1 red onion cut in half, soy sauce, white wine, brown sugar, black pepper and 3 garlic cloves that have been smashed. Mix ingredients together to coat the meat. Cook on low for 9 hours.
- Step 2Meanwhile, cut the tomatillos in half and place on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Broil for 10 minutes, flipping about half way through to brown both sides and prevent burning. Set aside to cool for a few minutes. In the bowl of a food processor add tomatillos, 1 smashed garlic clove, 1 cup chopped cilantro, half of a red onion roughly chopped, juice of 2 limes, scallions and salt. Pulse until well combined but not pulverized. Keep in refrigerator.
- Step 3After 9 hours, transfer the beef to a cutting board and remove any excess fat. Shred the beef using 2 forks and mix in a bowl with 1 to 2 tbsp of the braising liquid.
- Step 4Warm tortillas in a dry skillet. Serve with tomatillo salsa verde and garnish with chopped cilantro, diced red onion and cucumbers.
