Have you tried Skirt Steak? I love skirt steak for many reasons… it’s usually a great price… it marinades beautifully… and it’s quick to cook up! So today I’ve got my favorite Skirt Steak Marinade to share with you.
Skirt Steak Marinade
Likely you’ve got everything you need to whip up this marinade right now. If you’re not familiar with skirt steak it’s long, flat cut of meat. It is best if you marinade it and then cut it thinly after it cooks.
Olive oil, garlic, cilantro and other flavorful items go into this delicious marinade. I love to make up the marinade the night before I’m going to cook it and let it sit in the marinade overnight.
Pull your steak out of the fridge about 30 minutes prior to grilling to bring it up to room temperature.
Once your grill pan is heated up well at medium high it only takes about 2-4 minutes per side to have these delicious skirt steaks finished.

Skirt steak needs to be cut against the grain for the juicy cut of meat. The steak is so full of flavor and so moist and juicy.

Getting ready to buy ingredients to make the second time!! It was wonderful, by the way!! How many people, would you think, each skirt steak would feed? I am planning to make sides.
So glad you liked it Donna! This feeds our family of 5 with no leftovers, with sides on the dinner – just depends how big of eaters you have.
I MUST MARINATE MY MEAT AT LEAST A DAY IN ADVANCE AS WELL.
ALWAYS LOOKING FOR A NEW ONE, THIS ONE SOUNDS TASTY
