These adobo-marinated steak wraps have a delightful garnish: Corn nuts. Their primary role here is to add salt, crunch, and sweet toasty flavors to each bite. Corn chips, Fritos, or even kettle-style potato chips would be excellent understudies.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

2

garlic cloves, finely grated

tsp. sugar

3

Tbsp. adobo (from a can of chipotles in adobo), divided

3

Tbsp. fresh lime juice, divided

3

Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided

1

lb. skirt steak, cut crosswise into 3 equal pieces

¾

tsp. kosher salt, plus more

Freshly ground black pepper

¾

cup plain Greek yogurt

2

small or 1 large head of iceberg lettuce, leaves separated, covered, chilled

6

radishes, trimmed, thinly sliced, covered, chilled

Cilantro leaves with tender stems and lime wedges (for serving)

½

cup lightly crushed corn nuts

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Whisk garlic, sugar, 2 Tbsp. adobo, 2 Tbsp. lime juice, and 2 Tbsp. oil in a small bowl to combine. Season steak with salt and pepper and place in a large resealable plastic bag; add marinade. Seal bag and massage steak to coat. Let sit at room temperature 15 minutes, or chill, turning bag occasionally, up to 4 hours.

    Step 2

    Whisk yogurt, remaining 1 Tbsp. adobo, remaining 1 Tbsp. lime juice, and ¾ tsp. salt in a small bowl; set aside for serving.

    Step 3

    Remove steak from marinade, allowing any excess to drip back into bag, and lightly pat dry with paper towels. Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high until just beginning to smoke. Cook steak, turning occasionally, until deeply browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 130° for medium-rare, 4–8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the meat. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.

    Step 4

    Arrange steak, lettuce, radishes, cilantro, and lime wedges on a platter or a couple of plates so that each component is visible and easily accessible. Place corn nuts in a small bowl. Serve with reserved spicy yogurt for spooning into wraps.

  • A great marinade, yogurt sauce, and suprisingly refreshing! I added some of the chopped chipotle peppers from the can for extra spice in the sauce.

  • For this recipie, I used my new sous vide circulator and cooked the meat at 133 for 4 hours before quickly searing it. The meat was melty and perfectly cooked through! You can also find corn nuts at trader joes and Fresh Thyme market, if you have one nearby. Totally worth it. My kids loved the taste and crunch!

  • Did I go to five stores to finally find Corn Nuts? Yes. Was it worth it? Yes. I REGRET NOTHING. Pro tip - look at a gas station! Crushed them a little more than "lightly" and they are so perfect with this! Delish, way to go with another winner BA.

  • Another tasty option is to use French's crispy fried onions with Blue cheese crumbles!
