Herbed Skirt Steak - A Family Favorite
Description
Herbed Skirt Steak - A Family Favorite combines a fresh herb and citrus marinade with the robust, fibrous texture of skirt steak. The marinade, made of cilantro, Italian parsley, garlic, cumin, lemon zest and juice, and olive oil, infuses the meat with layered herbaceous and citrus notes. The steak is marinated briefly, allowing the flavors to meld without overpowering the natural beef taste.
The steak is cooked on a grill for 5 to 9 minutes per side, a timing that suits the thin, long skirt steak, giving it a nicely seared exterior while maintaining juiciness inside. Scraping off any herbs that start to burn keeps the flavor balanced. Resting the steak post-grill lets the juices redistribute for tenderness, and topping it with fresh herbs and a squeeze of grilled lemon adds an extra dimension of flavor.
Serving this steak makes a satisfying main course that pairs well with grilled vegetables or a simple salad. The herb-forward marinade elevates the skirt steak's distinctive texture and rich beef flavor without making it heavy.
Ingredients
- ½ cup cilantro finely chopped
- ½ cup Italian parsley finely chopped
- 4 garlic chopped, cloves
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 lemon juiced and zested
- ½ - ¾ cup olive oil
- salt
- black pepper
- 1 skirt steak
Instructions
- Mix all marinade ingredients together in a bowl including lemon zest and juice. Try to smoosh it on the side of the bowl to really meld the flavors.
- Put steak in a ziplock bag and add the marinade. Put in a bowl in fridge for at least 20 minutes.
- Cook on the grill for 5-9 minutes on each side. Scrape off some of the herbs if they start to burn.
- Let rest for 10 minutes while juices redistribute and top with more herbs.
- I also did a quick grill of a lemon half and squeezed that all over steak right before serving.
