Arrachera Marinada For Dinner, anyone ever heard of it?

My mother-in-law brought over over what I think is flank steak that they got at a Mexican grocery store and was awesome. I sautéed onions and roasted some Anaheim peppers and red peppers first on the egg then seared the steak a couple minutes a side at 400-450. Cut the meat thin for fajitas and hand on tortillas. It was very good and will be having it again. Sorry ate to fast and forgot final shots.

Looks and sounds excellent. I'm not familiar with the name though. That said, I have ate a lot of awesome stuff that I didn't know what it was. Again, it looks like a winner to me my friend.

That looks great.  Arrachera to me has always been what I've known as flap meet, thinner than flank or skirt and more irregular, that's what I'm used to getting from the meat counter at a Mexican market.  Lately I've seen skirt steak packaged in marinade in the grocery store that is labeled arrachera and it looks totally different, thicker and more ropey.  What you posted looks like 'normal' arrachera to me and it's labeled flap meat as well.  Most of the time they have it both marinated and plain.  I never see this in a regular supermarket. 

We've always cooked over a very hot fire.  When the juices start to pool on the top, toss on some salt and flip for another minute and then slice it up.  Makes great tacos with just some chopped onion and cilantro.  Looks like you cooked that perfectly.

You described it to a tee. My in-laws picked it up in a Mexican grocery store and it was awesome. My mother-n-law loved that I did all the cooking too. Next time I will add some salt and I forgot to season the onions, but it was still great. I wrapped the meat in foil to keep it warm because mother-n-law said it would get cold quick. They took the leftovers with them, bummer. It was the first time I had ever roasted peppers before too so that was fun to do and easy.
