Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound skirt steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and ground coriander. Mix well to form a marinade.
Place the skirt steak on a large plate or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring both sides are well coated.
Cover the steak and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes. For best results, allow it to marinate for up to 2 hours.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are white-hot.
Once the grill is hot, remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off.
Place the skirt steak on the grill. Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the time according to your desired doneness.
After grilling, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the skirt steak thinly against the grain to ensure maximum tenderness.
Drizzle the sliced steak with lime juice and sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top before serving.
Serve immediately, with your choice of sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
