Ingredients

• 2 pounds skirt steak
• 12 ounces beer (lager or ale)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl or resealable plastic bag, combine the beer, olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 2

Place the skirt steak in the marinade, ensuring it is fully submerged. If using a plastic bag, seal it tightly and massage the marinade into the steak. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a gas grill, heat to approximately 400°F (200°C). If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are white-hot and spread evenly.

Step 4

Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 5

Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the skirt steak on the grill and sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired level of doneness is reached.

Step 6

Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 7

Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. This ensures tenderness and optimal flavor.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired, and serve immediately. Pair with grilled vegetables, a salad, or your favorite side dishes.
