Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds skirt steak
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, rice vinegar, and black pepper to create a well-blended marinade.
- Marinate the Steak: Place the skirt steak in a zip-top bag or shallow dish, pour in the marinade, and ensure the steak is coated evenly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours to allow the flavors to infuse.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to high and clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking. Remove the steak from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and reserve some marinade for basting if desired.
- Grill the Steak: Grill the skirt steak for 3–4 minutes on each side until it develops a nice sear and caramelized crust. Optionally, baste with the reserved marinade during grilling to boost flavor and moisture.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to redistribute juices. Slice thinly against the grain, garnish with chopped parsley if using, and serve.
Notes
- Marinating longer (up to 2 hours) enhances the flavor and tenderness.
- Make sure to slice against the grain to maximize tenderness.
- Reserved marinade used for basting should be boiled if intended to be served as a sauce.
- Skirt steak cooks quickly; watch closely to avoid overcooking.
- Parsley garnish is optional but adds a fresh color and slight herbal note.
