Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds skirt steak
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the skirt steak dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the skirt steak in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Massage the marinade into the steak, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before cooking.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet or grill pan over high heat until very hot. Lightly oil the pan to prevent sticking.
Remove the skirt steak from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and place it in the hot skillet or grill pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time according to your desired level of doneness.
Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the skirt steak against the grain into thin strips for maximum tenderness.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or a crisp salad.
