Skirt Steak Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Stir until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Steak

    Place the skirt steak in a large resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it's well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a stovetop, heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Cook the Steak

    Remove the skirt steak from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until the desired doneness is reached.

  5. 5

    Rest and Slice

    Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice against the grain into thin strips.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the skirt steak with fresh cilantro sprinkled on top, if desired. Enjoy with your favorite sides!
