This marinated skirt steak recipe is perfect for Taco Tuesday or any day.  It’s savory, sweet with a little hint of heat at the end.  

Skirt Steak Grilling Tips:

• Select outside skirt steak over inside.  It’s more tender with stronger beef flavors.
• Thin cut is perfect for marinades.
• Fast cook time

Step 1: Prep the marinade.

The marinade is key in this recipe.  

In a mixing bowl add soy sauce, olive oil, freshly minced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, brown sugar and freshly squeezed lime juice. Whisk the ingredients together.

Use an outside skirt steak that was trimmed and tenderized.  Cut the steak into smaller 6 inch slabs if you have a long strip.

Pour the homemade marinade over the steak, rub it in making sure everything is covered.  Let this sit for 1 hour.

Step 2: How to perfectly grill marinated skirt steak

Preheat the grill to 400 degrees and set for direct heat.  Grill the marinated skirt steak 2 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 130 degrees to ensure a medium rare cook.  

Remove them off the grill and let them rest for 10 minutes. It’s very important to rest any protein after a cook.  This process helps redistribute all those wonderful juices that will create a beautifully tender slice of meat.

Next, throw some green onions on the hot grates.  These charred veggies are a great way to add some fiber to a dish and have amazing flavor.

Enjoy the steak and green onions by themselves or add a tortilla and some rice for a fuller meal.  Enjoy!
