Ingredients
  

For the Marinade
  • 1 lb skirt steak A flavorful cut that thrives on marinating for tenderness and taste.
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce Adds a delicious umami kick; opt for low-sodium soy sauce for a healthier choice.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Provides rich moisture; consider avocado oil for a lighter flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar Introduces a tangy element; balsamic vinegar works in its place if needed.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Infuses the dish with aromatic zest; pre-minced garlic can save time.
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper Elevates the dish with mild spice; feel free to adjust according to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder Enhances the savory profile; fresh onion is also a viable substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon paprika Offers a hint of smoky flavor; swap in smoked paprika for added depth.

Equipment

  • Skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and 1 teaspoon paprika.
  2. Take your 1 lb skirt steak and place it inside a resealable plastic bag. Pour the prepared marinade over the steak, ensuring it's fully coated. Seal the bag tightly, removing as much air as possible, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. About 10 minutes before cooking, preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat until it’s hot.
  4. Remove the skirt steak from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and discard the marinade. Place the steak on the hot grill or skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness.
  5. Once cooked, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice against the grain.
