Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, black pepper, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Skirt Steak

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

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill to high heat or a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Skirt Steak

    Remove the skirt steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the steak on the grill or skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per 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 before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute for a more tender bite.

Serving

  1. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Slice the skirt steak against the grain into thin strips. Serve with chopped cilantro and lime wedges on the side.
