Meat

Marinade

Garnish (optional)

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Steak

    Place the skirt steak in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for best results.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Prepare the Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Ensure that the cooking surface is hot before adding the steak.

  2. 4

    Cook the Steak

    Remove the skirt steak from the marinade and let any excess liquid drip off. Place the steak on the hot grill or skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is achieved. Avoid flipping the steak too often for a good sear.

  3. 5

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked, remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

  4. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Slice the skirt steak against the grain into thin strips. Serve garnished with chopped cilantro and lime wedges, if desired.
