  • 0.25 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 3 cloves garlic minced

  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro chopped
Steak
  • 1.5 lb skirt steak trimmed

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Grill or skillet
  • Resealable bag
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Whisk together all marinade ingredients in a bowl until well combined.
  2. Place skirt steak in a resealable bag and pour marinade over it.
  3. Marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.
  4. Remove steak, pat dry, and grill over high heat for 3–4 minutes per side.

Notes

Avoid marinating more than 12 hours to prevent over-tenderizing. Slice thinly against the grain.
