Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 whole skirt steak (1.52 pounds)
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • â…“ cup olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar (or apple juice vinegar)
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 4 cloves garlic (finely minced)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Start by unrolling your skirt steak on a cutting board with the fattiest side facing up. Trimming excess fat helps prevent flare-ups on the grill while ensuring your meat cooks evenly. Use a sharp knife to carefully slice off any thick pieces of fat or silverskin until you're left with nice, clean cuts of meat.
  2. Once trimmed, generously season the steak with kosher salt all over. Then place it into a resealable bag. In another bowl, combine olive oil, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Whisk until everything is well mixed—this flavorful marinade will penetrate deep into the meat!
  3. Pour that delicious marinade over your skirt steak in the bag. Seal tightly while squeezing out excess air to ensure every inch of meat is coated. Lay it flat in your fridge to marinate for at least two hours (or up to twelve if you have time). Flipping occasionally helps distribute those incredible flavors evenly.
  4. When you're ready to cook, take the steaks out of the fridge about thirty minutes prior so they can reach room temperature. This step ensures even cooking. Preheat your grill or skillet over high heat—this will give you that beautiful char we’re aiming for.
  5. Pat your steaks dry before grill time; moisture can prevent proper searing! Season with ground pepper before placing on hot grill grates or in your skillet. Grill each side until you see that gorgeous char forming—about 3-4 minutes per side should do it!
  6. Once cooked to perfection (125-130°F internal temperature), transfer your steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for about ten minutes. This step allows juices to redistribute through the meat, keeping it juicy when you slice against the grain into half-inch pieces. Serve immediately and enjoy every bite!
