Tips

  • Using skirt steak is preferred over flank steak for better flavor.
  • Washing the lime is important before adding it to the marinade.
  • Marinating the steak for a few hours in the fridge enhances flavor.
  • Cook steak over high heat for a nice char.
  • For guacamole, mash avocados first before adding other vegetables to avoid mashing them.
  • Adding beer and orange juice to the marinade can make it better, but is not crucial.
