Everyone grab a bottle of hair gel, a gold chain necklace,and a brightly colored flamboyant large collar button down shirt because we are going to Miami, bitch! ”Awesome!” Not literally, stupid. Sorry I got you all excited about growing an ironic mustache and taking it to the least ironic place. That’s a hipster’s wet dream right there. Let’s begin:
The Cuban Mojo can be a sauce or a marinade. The primary flavor is sour orange and the best way for a dumbass like you to create this flavor is to combine orange juice with lime, lemon or both. I like lime so I used lime. Do whatever the fuck you want. I don’t really give a shit. Toss the following into a food processor: The juice from one orange, the juice from two limes, six minced cloves of garlic, one diced jalapeno, half a diced white onion, a large handful of cilantro, 1tbl paprika, 1tsp cumin, and a few splases of white vinegar. Blend that shit up real good. Turn the processor off, scrape the sides, turn it back on, and slowly drizzle in 1/2c olive oil while the blade is running. Be sure to perform this last step carefully and don’t blame it on me when you fuck it all up. This is the sauce. Since I made a marinade instead, I included the rinds from the citrus. Just a tip.
Soak your skirt steak in the mojo for about six hours. Under no circumstances go over eight hours. Scrape as much of the residual crap off of them as you possibly can before cooking. Sear them on a hot grill for ten minutes per side. Let your meat sit for at least ten minutes before you cut into it and be sure to slice against the grain. “Well this looks pretty good from the outside, what about the inside Mr. FancyPants?” I don’t know. Let’s find out.
Put that shit on some fucking tacos. Eat it.

Skirt steak is what we call it when Cooking for Asshole’s mom forgets to wear underwear.
Eat it.
But don’t forget the marinade.

For those of you who are to stupid to recognize, like the CfA, pictured above is not skirt steak. Sirloin, bottom round I believe – which would be nice in a skirt – and is probably half the price of fucking skirt steak so use it. If you cooked skirt steak (@$8-$9/lb)on a hot grill for 20 minutes, you would literally have shit. That being said, I can not wait to make this delicious sounding marinade for a skirt steak tomorrow and cook for about 6 minutes on each side.

Thank you for pointing this out. I took a picture of the description of the meat on the package and my lady accidentally deleted it. I had no fucking clue what this cut of meat was so I made something up.
