No reviews

A citrus-infused, garlic-heavy skirt steak recipe that yields the most tender and flavorful results every time.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes (plus marinating)
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

2 lbs skirt steak (outside skirt preferred)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon honey
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, cumin, black pepper, and cilantro to create the marinade.
Step 2: Place the skirt steak in a large resealable bag or a shallow glass dish. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring all surfaces are well-coated.
Step 3: Seal the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor and tenderness.
Step 4: Pre-heat your grill to high heat (450°F to 500°F). Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
Step 5: Place the steak on the grill and cook for 3-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F for medium-rare.
Step 6: Remove the steak from the grill and place it on a cutting board. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Step 7: Identify the direction of the grain. Slice the steak thinly against the grain at a slight diagonal angle and serve immediately.

Notes

Always slice against the grain to ensure the meat is tender. For a spicier version, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
