Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs skirt steak, trimmed
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. In a bowl or zip-top bag, whisk soy sauce, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, and pepper.
  2. Pat steak dry, add to marinade, and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  3. Heat a grill or cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking. Remove steak from marinade, let excess drip off, and cook 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (130°F).
  4. Rest steak 5 minutes, then slice against the grain and serve with resting juices.

Notes

Bring the steak to room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking so it sears evenly. The marinade is salty enough from the soy sauce that you likely won’t need extra salt.
