Mexican Skillet Steak is an easy dinner idea with spicy marinated steak and a quick pico de gallo. Serve it up by itself or with rice or tortillas.
This is an easy weeknight dinner that packs a punch of flavor! The steak is marinated and cooked in skillet. Scoop in a quick pico de gallo and some sliced avocado and you have a complete meal. If you want to carb it up, serve it up with some rice or tortillas.
What kind of steak should I use?
You can use flank steak, skirt steak, or a sirloin. Cooking time will vary based on how thick your steak is so watch it closely.
What is pico de gallo?
Pico de gallo is a type of fresh salsa. It actually translates to “rooster beak” and gets its name because of how people used to eat it: by pinching it between their fingers. Sometimes it is also called salsa fresca (fresh salsa).

This is great steak recipe. I wanted Mexican food tonight and this was perfect. My steak was really thick and big, enough for 2 meals. This is a keeper for me. We don’t eat beef very often, but when we do, I want as much flavor as possible and this recipe fit the bill. Thanks for sharing.
