I explored many of the different classes of ingredients that one might find in a marinade when I was working on a recipe for fajitas , a similar but distinct Mexican dish. In that article, I named four essential marinade ingredients that will guarantee maximum results in all of these categories. For my marinade, I knew that I'd want a mix of many of these ingredients, but there was simply too huge a range to start out with.
So I began by making some broad strokes, testing out some basic styles I've seen in books and around the internet. After a few tests, I eliminated those liquid ones that seemed too similar to fajita marinades to me. I then eliminated those that were too heavy on oil and fresh aromatics, like garlic and herbs. Those ingredients were welcome, but I wanted the backbone of my marinade to be much more robust, like the El Torito version I was used to.
Dried chilies was where I would begin. I've tested and written extensively about how to get the best flavor out of your chilies , and my near-universal recommendation is to ditch the chili powder in lieu of whole dried chilies, which pretty much always have vastly superior flavor. I've also recommended toasting whole chilies in the microwave to enhance their flavor, and it works well in this recipe, too. All it takes is about 15 seconds on a microwave-safe plate for dried chilies to become toasty and pliable.
In this case, the easiest method turned out to be the best. Simply tossing toasted guajillo or pasilla and ancho chilies along with some chipotles into the blender with the liquid ingredients and grinding them up produced a marinade that was smooth enough to eat as a salsa, but still had a few pleasant bits of intact chili skin that softened up as the marinade sat.
Next step was to nail down the wet ingredients. Citrus juice was an obvious one. I tried straight-up lime, but it proved too acidic for the sauce, overpowering the other ingredients.
A mixture of lime and orange toned down the acidity and added a nice floral note to the aroma, which went really well with the smoky chipotle chilies. A little olive oil also loosened up the mixture and provided some fat to distribute those fat-soluble flavor compounds around the meat. To improve the flavor of the mixture, I tried mixing in various ingredients, like molasses and Worcestershire sauce, an ingredient that is pretty prevalent in the El Torito version. But no matter how little I used, the combination of Worcestershire and sugar was too reminiscent of barbecue sauce.
I cut it out completely. In its place, I knew I wanted another ingredient rich in glutamic acid, the chemical responsible for triggering our sense of savoriness. I turned to the usual suspects: soy sauce and fish sauce. A small dash of both gave the sauce the depth it needed and helped boost the flavor of the skirt steak, while simultaneously improving its moisture level and tenderness. Fish sauce is hardly traditional in Mexican cooking, but this is carne asada—there are no rules about anything, other than what lands on the plate at the end of the recipe.
Besides, in the quantity used here, the fish sauce completely melds into the background. Rounding out the flavors in my marinade were garlic, a small bunch of fresh cilantro leaves, some toasted whole cumin and coriander seeds, and some dark brown sugar to balance out all the extra saltiness and acidity. What about how long the marinade takes to work?
Does marinating for hours or even days on end help, detract, or make no difference? To test this, I placed pieces of skirt steak into vacuum-sealed bags of marinade, sealing off a new bag every few hours to test marination times ranging from zero to 36 hours.
Much to my wife's chagrin, this meant waking up every few hours in the middle of the night to a loud alarm so that I could go put another piece of beef on to marinate. I'm not sure why she puts up with me, but I think the food may have something to do with it.
Boneless short ribs will also tick those boxes and a few months ago I was making these Short Ribs Carne Asada quesadillas :. The boneless short ribs were sliced a little thicker than skirt steak, but they still cooked in a matter of minutes. I also recently made some delicious Tacos de Alambre using boneless short ribs:.
