4 Videos | Photo: Skirt Steak Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 4 scallions, washed and cut in 1/2
- 2 large cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar or Mexican brown sugar
- 2 pounds inside skirt steak, cut into 3 equal pieces
- Special equipment: blow dryer
Directions
Heat charcoal, preferably natural chunk, until grey ash appears. In a blender, put in oil, soy sauce, scallions, garlic, lime juice, red pepper, cumin, and sugar and puree. In a large heavy duty, zip top bag, put pieces of skirt steak and pour in marinade. Seal bag, removing as much air as possible. Allow steak to marinate for 1 hour in refrigerator.
Remove steak from bag and pat dry with paper towels. Using a blow dryer, blow charcoal clean of ash. Once clean of ash lay steaks directly onto hot coals for 1 minute per side. When finished cooking, place meat in double thickness of aluminum foil, wrap, and allow to sit for 15 minutes.
Remove meat from foil, reserving foil and juices. Slice thinly across the grain of the meat. Return to foil pouch and toss with juice. Serve with grilled peppers and onions, if desired.

My husband and I really enjoy this recipe however, I do not put the scallion in the blender. The one time I did I did not like the flavor or consistancy so I just eliminated the scallion. Also, we cook it on the grate on a gas grill.

Absolutely loved it! Made it in our our gas grill and still came out delicious. I've always stayed away from recipes where they mix sweet, sour and salty elements just because is out of my comfort zone when it comes to trying new foods and seasonings. This recipe is a MUST TRY! You will not be disappointed :-
Thanks Alton!
