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
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, black pepper, cumin, paprika, and salt.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Marinate the skirt steak in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours for enhanced flavor.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to high heat.
Step 5
Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off. Discard the marinade.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips.
Step 9
Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the sliced steak before serving.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your grilled skirt steak with your choice of side dishes.
