To make the avocado crema, combine all ingredients in a quart sized pitcher. Process with an immersion blender until smooth (alternatively, place in a food processor or blender). Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Remove the skirt steak from the marinade. Remove excess liquid from the surface with paper towels. Season with Cattleman’s Grill 8 Second Ride Carne Asada Seasoning.

Grill the steak until lightly charred. Flip and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 130ºF. Remove from the grill and rest.
