SKIRT STEAK TACOS WITH LOCAL HOT SAUCE

Chefs know that skirt steak makes the best tacos ever, especially when marinated in a citrusy blend of beer, chili powder and hot sauce. We use local, Secret Aardvark Habanero Hot Sauce for warmth, Portland’s Wayfinder brewery House of Hades lager, and a good pinch of Jacobsen’s Steak Seasoning for deliciously tender and flavorful tacos.
