Marinated Skirt Steak

Marinated Skirt Steak

1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup soy sauce
4 scallions, cut in half
2 garlic cloves
1/4 cup lime juice
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp ground cumin
3 tbsp brown sugar
2 lbs skirt steak, cut into three equal pieces

1. Heat charcoal grill
2. Blend oil, soy sauce, scallions, garlic, lime juice, red pepper, cumin and sugar.
3. Place steak and marinade in zip-loc bag, remove air, seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
4. Remove steak and pat dry with paper towels.
5. Cook steak over charcoal until desired doneness.
6. Wrap steak in aluminum foil and let sit for 10-15 minutes.

Notes: Instead of using the rack on the grill, you can also cook the steak directly on the coals, just use a blow dryer to blow the ash off first and reduce cooking time considerably. It's worth it to get a good quality skirt steak instead of the cheap pre-packaged one at the grocery store.
