Ingredients

For the Skirt Steak Marinade

• 1 lb Elkins Cattle Co. Skirt Steak
• 1 cup orange juice
• ½ cup lime juice
• ¼ cup soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

For the Honey-Glazed Veggie Stir Fry

• 2 carrots, peeled into thin ribbons
• 1 cup sugar snap peas, trimmed
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 2–3 tbsp coconut aminos (or soy sauce alternative)
• 1 tbsp Elkins Cattle Co Cooking Tallow
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 tbsp Manuka honey
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Marinate the Steak – Whisk together orange juice, lime juice, soy sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, and cilantro. Place skirt steak in a shallow dish or resealable bag, pour marinade over, and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours).
2. Cook the Veggie Stir Fry –
   1. Heat tallow in a skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
   2. Add onion and broccoli; sauté for 2–3 minutes until they begin to soften.
   3. Add sugar snap peas and carrot ribbons; toss for another 2 minutes.
   4. Stir in coconut aminos, garlic, honey, salt, and pepper. Cook another minute until veggies are crisp-tender and lightly glazed. Remove from heat.
3. Cook the Steak – Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove steak from marinade and pat dry. Lay it in the pan and let it sit, so the marinade caramelizes and forms a light glaze. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side until medium-rare.
4. Rest & Slice – Transfer steak to a cutting board and rest for 5–10 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain for tender bites.
5. Serve – Plate the steak with a hearty scoop of honey-glazed veggies on top of white rice and enjoy immediately.

Tips from Our Table

• Skirt steak cooks fast—keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking.
• Always slice against the grain for tender, juicy bites.
• Instead of moving the steak around, let it sit in the pan. This gives the marinade time to caramelize and form a delicious glaze on the surface.
