Beef Marinade

Grilled Vegetables (optional)

Method

Marinating the Steak

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground black pepper, and salt. Whisk until well blended.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Steak

    Place the skirt steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the steak. Ensure the steak is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight for best flavor.

Grilling the Steak

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450°F to 500°F).

  2. 4

    Grill the Steak

    Remove the skirt steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the steak on the hot grill. Grill for about 3-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on thickness.

  3. 5

    Rest the Steak

    Once grilled to your desired doneness, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

  4. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips and serve with grilled vegetables if desired.

Grilling the Vegetables (optional)

  1. 7

    Prepare the Vegetables

    In a bowl, toss the sliced bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  2. 8

    Grill the Vegetables

    Place the vegetables on the grill alongside the steak during the last 5-7 minutes of cooking, turning occasionally until tender and slightly charred.
