Herbed Skirt Steak - A Family Favorite

The Herbed Skirt Steak features a lively marinade of cilantro, Italian parsley, garlic, cumin, and lemon, soaked into a skirt steak for at least 20 minutes. Grilling the steak over medium-high heat for a few minutes per side seals in the flavors and tenderizes the meat. The fresh herb topping and grilled lemon squeeze add brightness to this savory and textured cut, ideal for a flavorful family meal.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. Put steak in a ziplock bag and add the marinade. Put in a bowl in fridge for at least 20 minutes.
  3. Cook on the grill for 5-9 minutes on each side. Scrape off some of the herbs if they start to burn.
  4. Let rest for 10 minutes while juices redistribute and top with more herbs.
  5. I also did a quick grill of a lemon half and squeezed that all over steak right before serving.
