Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Steak

    Place the skirt steak in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the steak is well coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

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

  2. 4

    Cook the Steak

    Remove the steak from the marinade and discard excess marinade. Place the skirt steak on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached.

  3. 5

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked, remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 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 garnishes of fresh cilantro and lime wedges for added flavor.
