Instructions

STEP 1: SALSA

Char tomatillos, serranos, and garlic in a hot cast iron pan until lightly blistered and softened, but still green. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and let steam 3–5 minutes. Peel garlic, then smash everything in a molcajete to a lightly chunky texture. Fold in onion, cilantro, and salt.

STEP 2: STEAK

Season skirt steak generously with salt. Grill over high heat until well-charred but still juicy, about 2–3 minutes per side. Rest 5-10 mins, then slice across the grain and chop.

STEP 3: BUILD

Warm corn tortillas. Add chopped steak, spoon over salsa verde ranchera, and finish with onion and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
