Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds skirt steak
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons honey
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon chili flakes
Fresh chopped parsley or cilantro
Instructions
1. In a large bowl or zip-top bag, whisk together soy sauce, honey, garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and chili flakes. Add the skirt steak and coat well. Let marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
2. Preheat your grill (or grill pan) to high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
3. Remove the steak from the marinade and let excess drip off. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Let it rest for 5 minutes after grilling.
4. Slice the steak thinly against the grain. Sprinkle chopped parsley or cilantro on top before serving.
Notes
Always slice skirt steak *against* the grain to keep it tender.
Let the steak rest before slicing to retain juices.
Double the marinade for an extra drizzle post-cooking (boil it first to use safely).
