Skirt Steak Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well. Add the skirt steak to the marinade, ensuring it is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat.

  3. 3

    Grill the Steak

    Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Place the skirt steak on the hot grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if desired.

  4. 4

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with your choice of sides.
