Tequila Lime Marinated Skirt Steak with Charred Tomatillo Salsa and Mexican Sweet Corn Cake

Most people love to go out for Cinco de Mayo.  I can’t remember ever doing that.  I never was a big party girl, preferring small groups with great conversation to loud, crowded rooms with strangers sweating on me.  Don’t misunderstand.  Everyone needs to experience as much as they can in life and I had enough of those nights to know that as freeing and fun as they can be in one moment, the feeling doesn’t last.  But the strength that great friendships build in us last a lifetime and nurturing them is most satisfying.

We called up our close friends last night and asked them to come over for a little Cinco de Mayo dinner.  I have to give the credit to my sous chef and grill master husband.  He had the idea and found the feature dish, Tequila Lime Marinated  Skirt Steak with Charred Tomatillo Salsa.  It came from the excellent Weber Grilling app.  That thing is fantastic:  Grilling times, recipes, a time, techniques, and a grocery list are all at your fingertips!  (Not a sponsor, we just love the thing.)  The recipe isn’t available on line and since it is theirs, I am directing you to the app to get it.
