PROS

This marinade is easy to prepare and adds tons of flavor to any cut of steak.

The beer and lime juice in the marinade help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with a citrusy tang.

CONS

Be cautious with the amount of marinade you use, as too much may overpower the taste of the steak.

Also, grilling skirt steak can be tricky as it cooks quickly, so monitor it closely to prevent overcooking.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Skirt steak is a good source of protein, iron, and zinc.
It’s a leaner cut of beef, which makes it a healthier option than fattier cuts.
Chipotle hot sauce can also be good for digestion and may have some anti-inflammatory benefits.
