Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds skirt steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, black pepper, cumin, paprika, and salt.
Place the skirt steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Marinate the skirt steak in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for enhanced flavor.
Preheat your grill to high heat.
Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the marinade.
Place the skirt steak on the hot grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness, or until it reaches your preferred level of doneness.
Remove the steak from the grill and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute through the meat for optimal flavor.
Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the sliced steak before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your grilled skirt steak with your choice of side dishes.
