Beef lovers rejoice. This marinated grilled skirt steak is citrusy and slightly spicy with a beefy char that will make your mouth water.

📝 Ingredients

  • 2 pounds (950g) skirt steak, (trimmed)
  • 1 lime, (juiced (about 1 tablespoon of juice))
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) soy sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon (7-8g) minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) pineapple juice
  • 1 teaspoon (1-2g) oregano ((dried or fresh))
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2-3g) black pepper
  • 2-3 tablespoons (12-20g) cilantro, (finely chopped)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Trim skirt steak and pat dry.
  2. 2Combine the marinade in a large shallow bowl.
  3. 3Add the skirt steak, coat well, and marinate for about an hour (or keep it in the fridge until ready to grill if you think it will take more than an hour). If it will take more than an hour, marinate it in the refrigerator.
  4. 4Preheat the grill to medium-high.
  5. 5Thirty minutes before grilling, drain the marinade from the skirt steak and pat dry with paper towels (for that delicious Maillard reaction).
  6. 6Clean and oil the grill grates. Place the skirt steaks on the hot grates and grill for 3-5 minutes per side for rare to medium-rare, depending on preferences—the less cooked, the better.
  7. 7When ready, transfer it to a wooden cutting board and let it rest for 2-5 minutes. Thinly slice the skirt steak against the grain and enjoy.
