SKIRT STEAK I love skirt steak. It’s tender, juicy, thin, and cooks in about 6 minutes! Not to mention, it goes great over salads, in fajitas, or as your main dish! This sweet, savory, spicy blend of flavors makes this recipe my all time favorite skirt steak marinade. Hope you like it!

Bon Appetit.

INGREDIENTS: • SKIRT STEAK (2 1/4 LBS), FAT TRIMMED • 1/4 CUP SOY SAUCE • 2 TBSP WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE • 2 TBSP OF CANOLA OIL • 1 1/2 TBSP OF PACKED BROWN SUGAR • 2 TSP CRUSHED RED PEPPER • 4 CLOVES OF GARLIC, MINCED • 1 TSP KOSHER SALT • 1 TSP CRACKED BLACK PEPPER

ingredients and whisk for 30 seconds. Place the steak into a gallon size Ziploc bag and pour the marinade over it.

2. Refrigerate for 2-8hrs. *Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to grilling. You want the steak to be room temperature.

3. Fire up the grill on high heat. When its smoking hot, remove the steak from the Ziploc bag and place it on the grates. Do not touch it for 3-4 minutes so it sears nicely and naturally releases itself from the grates. Flip over for another 2- 3 minutes until lightly charred. **This cut of beef is best served medium rare.** Remove it from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes.

When ready, cut across the grain into thin slices.
