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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Place the skirt steak on a large plate or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring both sides are well coated.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are white-hot.
Step 5
Once the grill is hot, remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
After grilling, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 8
Slice the skirt steak thinly against the grain to ensure maximum tenderness.
Step 9
Drizzle the sliced steak with lime juice and sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top before serving.
Step 10
Serve immediately, with your choice of sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
