Notes
- If the skirt steak is very large, cut it in half. This allows the steak to fit in the skillet.
- Allow the oil to become hot before adding in the steak.
- Use tongs and an oven mitt to protect yourself. The oil is very hot.
- Most skirt steak is relatively thin. Therefore, not much cooking time is needed.
- Use a meat thermometer to measure internal temperature. Steak will be medium rare when it has reached 135 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Allow the steak to rest after cooking. This locks in the juices.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
