1
Marinate the Steak
In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and lime juice to create a marinade. Add the skirt steak and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.
2
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to high heat, around 450°F (232°C).

3
Grill the Steak
Remove the skirt steak from the marinade and let it come to room temperature for about 15 minutes. Place the steak on the hot grill and cook for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
4
Rest and Slice
Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice against the grain into thin strips.
5
Serve
Serve the grilled skirt steak with fresh cilantro on top and your choice of sides.
