Ingredients
1.5 to 2 pounds skirt steak
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons olive oil
5 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
Kosher salt to taste (added before grilling)
Instructions
1. Combine soy sauce, honey, olive oil, garlic, ginger, vinegar, sesame oil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes in a bowl or ziplock bag. Mix well.
2. Add the skirt steak to the marinade, coat it thoroughly, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
3. Take the steak out 30 minutes before grilling. Preheat your grill to high heat (450–500°F).
4. Pat the steak dry, season both sides with kosher salt, and oil the grill grates.
5. Grill for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Only flip once for the best crust.
6. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes after grilling, tented loosely with foil.
7. Slice thinly against the grain at a slight angle.
8. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro and serve hot.
Notes
Always cut skirt steak against the grain to make it more tender.
Let the steak come to room temperature before grilling for even cooking.
Patting the steak dry ensures a better sear instead of steaming from moisture.
