Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound skirt steak
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup citrus juice (lime or lemon)
- 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, fresh citrus juice, honey, cumin, paprika, and black pepper until well combined.
- Marinate the steak: Place your skirt steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it covers all surfaces. Seal or cover your dish, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- Preheat the grill: Get your grill hot, aiming for a high temperature suitable for searing meat.
- Grill the steak: Remove the steak from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Place it on the grill and cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
- Check for doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect cooking, aiming for an internal temperature of 130°F.
- Rest the steak: Remove it from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Slice and serve: Cut against the grain into thin slices.
Notes
Make-ahead tips: Prepare the marinade in advance and store it in the fridge for up to three days. Customize by adding your favorite herbs or spices.
