Ingredients
- 1 pound Skirt steak
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 4 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a large resealable bag or shallow dish, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
Step 2
Add the skirt steak to the marinade, ensuring it is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to overnight for more intense flavor.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to high heat or heat a grill pan over the stove to medium-high.
Step 4
Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off before placing on the grill. Grill the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time according to your preferred level of doneness.
Step 5
Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 6
Slice the steak thinly against the grain and serve immediately.
