1
Marinate the Steak
In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Place the skirt steak in a zip-top bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for best results.
2
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat on the stove.
3
Grill the Steak
Remove the steak from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Place the skirt steak on the grill and cook for about 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness.
4
Rest and Slice
Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Slice against the grain, and serve topped with fresh cilantro.
