Cast Iron Skirt Steak Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Marinade

   In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a marinade.

2. 2

   Marinate the Steak

   Place the skirt steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it's well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours.

3. 3

   Preheat the Cast Iron Skillet

   Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Allow it to get very hot for a few minutes.

4. 4

   Cook the Steak

   Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the steak in the hot skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy (130°F for medium-rare).

5. 5

   Rest and Serve

   Once cooked, remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Slice against the grain, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve with the remaining marinade if desired.
