Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Skirt steak
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 whole Lime (juiced)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 16 leaves Butter lettuce leaves
- 2 stalks Scallions (thinly sliced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a large bowl or resealable plastic bag, combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of grated ginger, 1 minced clove of garlic, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of red chili flakes, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the skirt steak to the marinade and make sure it is fully coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
While the steak is marinating, prepare the soy ginger dipping sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 minced clove of garlic, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and 2 tablespoons of water until the sugar dissolves. Set aside.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the skirt steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Season lightly with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Brush the grill grates with the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Place the steak on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired level of doneness is reached.
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice it thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips.
To serve, place the sliced steak onto individual butter lettuce leaves. Garnish with thinly sliced scallions.
Serve alongside the soy ginger dipping sauce for guests to drizzle or dip their steak wraps. Enjoy immediately while warm.
