Quick marinated skirt steak grilled to juicy perfection.
Prep Time2 hours
Cook Time10 minutes
Total Time2 hours 10 minutes
Servings: 6 people

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds skirt steak
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • pinch red pepper (crushed red pepper)

Instructions

  • In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, black pepper, salt, and a pinch of crushed red pepper until combined.
  • Place the skirt steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, making sure the steak is well coated.
  • Remove excess air from the bag and seal, then refrigerate and marinate for 2 hours (or overnight for more flavor).
  • Preheat the grill to high heat and oil the grates lightly.
  • Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off; discard the marinade.
  • Grill the skirt steak 3–5 minutes per side, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 145°F for medium doneness.
  • Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing against the grain to serve.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Resealable Plastic Bag or Shallow Dish
  • Grill or Grill Pan
  • Tongs
  • Meat Thermometer

Notes

  • Marinating overnight increases flavor and tenderness.
  • Trim excess fat from skirt steak if desired before marinating.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure accurate doneness.
  • Slice thinly against the grain for the most tender bites.
