Fiesta Carne Asada Skirt Steak
This recipe from our "Flavor Fiesta" BBQ box is all about big flavor, fast fire, and that irresistible balance of smoky, citrusy, and savory. This recipe delivers steakhouse-quality results with true south-of-the-border flair, thanks to a bold one-two punch of Fiesta That Mexican Seasoning by The Flat Top King and Citrus Pucker Pepper Rub by The Spice Guy. The skirt steak cooks hot and fast, building a beautiful char on the outside while staying juicy and tender inside.
What really sets this dish apart is the contrast. The rich, beefy steak and smoky grill marks are finished with a bright citrus pop and cracked-pepper bite, then paired with Lane’s “Sorta White” Sauce for dipping. That cool, creamy tang cuts through the heat and smoke perfectly, making every bite crave-worthy. Slice it thin against the grain and you’ve got a versatile star that’s just as good piled into tacos and bowls as it is eaten straight off the cutting board.
Whether you grill it hot and fast or smoke it low and finish with a sear, this recipe is built to impress without overcomplicating things. It’s bold, crowd-pleasing, and packed with layered flavor—exactly the kind of dish that turns a backyard cookout into a full-on Flavor Fiesta.
For an extra pop of flavor, use our Build Your Own Fiesta Marinade recipe before grilling. A quick soak adds another layer of brightness and tenderness, helping the seasonings penetrate the meat while locking in that bold, fiesta-ready flavor—perfect if you want to take this skirt steak from great to unforgettable.
