  • ¼ cup water
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro
  • Juice of 1 lime (around 2 tablespoons, plus more to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon dry oregano
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt (plus more to taste)
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 16 ounces skirt steak (cut into 6-inch sections, substitute flap steak or flank steak)
  • Juice of 1 orange (around ¼ cup)
  • Juice of 1 large lime (around 2 tablespoons)
  • ½ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro (divided in half)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon freshly-cracked black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon dry oregano
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 6 green onions

Instructions

  1. Prepare the avocado salsa by blending tomatillos, onion, garlic, jalapeño, water, cilantro, lime juice, oregano, and salt until smooth.
  2. Marinate the skirt steak in a mixture of orange juice, lime juice, half chopped cilantro, paprika, salt, onion powder, black pepper, smoked paprika, cumin, and oregano for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated steak for 4-5 minutes on each side until desired doneness; let rest before slicing against the grain.
