1
Marinate the Steak
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, soy sauce, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well mixed. Add the skirt steak to the bowl and coat it well with the marinade. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
2
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to high heat (around 450°F to 500°F). Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled.
3
Grill the Steak
Remove the skirt steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the steak on the preheated grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
4
Rest and Slice
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Slice against the grain into thin strips.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the sliced steak with chopped fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
