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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice it thinly against the grain into bite-sized strips.
Step 7
To serve, place the sliced steak onto individual butter lettuce leaves. Garnish with thinly sliced scallions.
Step 8
Serve alongside the soy ginger dipping sauce for guests to drizzle or dip their steak wraps. Enjoy immediately while warm.
