Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Add the Skirt Steak

    Place the skirt steak in the marinade, ensuring it is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook the Steak

    Remove the steak from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off. Place the steak on the hot grill or pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness.

  3. 5

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked, remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Serving

  1. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Slice the skirt steak against the grain into thin strips. Serve with optional toppings like chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeños, sour cream, and avocado slices.
