Ingredients

• 1 pound Skirt steak
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 whole Lime
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnishing)

Directions

Step 1

Place the skirt steak on a cutting board and trim any excess fat or silver skin. If the steak is too long to fit in your grill pan, cut it into more manageable pieces.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, black pepper, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and salt to create a marinade.

Step 3

Place the steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the meat. Be sure the steak is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish tightly and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Step 4

Remove the steak from the refrigerator 20 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature.

Step 5

Heat a stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat until it is very hot. Lightly oil the grill pan to prevent the steak from sticking.

Step 6

Carefully remove the steak from the marinade and shake off any excess liquid. Discard the marinade.

Step 7

Place the steak on the preheated grill pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, without moving it, to achieve nice grill marks. Flip the steak and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side for medium-rare. Adjust the cook time if you prefer your steak more well-done.

Step 8

Remove the steak from the grill pan and place it on a cutting board. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the steak and tent it loosely with foil. Let it rest for 5-7 minutes to retain the juices.

Step 9

Slice the steak thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired.

Step 10

Serve the steak immediately as is or pair it with your favorite sides such as rice, roasted vegetables, or salad.
