Ingredients
- 1/4 cup brewed coffee, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 pounds skirt steak, cut into 4 equal pieces
- 1 red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
- 8 store-bought corn tostadas
- 1/2 cup lightly packed fresh cilantro leaves
- Sliced avocado, Mexican crema, crumbled Cotija cheese, pickled jalapenos, shredded lettuce and/or lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare an outdoor grill for high heat.
- Whisk the coffee, chili powder, oil, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a shallow baking dish. Add the skirt steak, turn to coat, set aside at room temperature to marinate for about 20 minutes.
- While the steak marinates, brush the onion slices lightly with oil and grill, flipping occasionally, until soft and lightly charred, about 15 minutes; set aside. Drain the steak and grill, flipping once until medium-rare on the inside with deep grill marks, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes and then thinly slice against the grain.
- Top each tostada with a mound of steak, some grilled onions and cilantro leaves. Serve with sliced avocado, Mexican crema, crumbled Cotija cheese, pickled jalapeno, shredded lettuce and/or lime wedges.
