Scale

Steak and Marinade Ingredients

  • 1 to 1.5 pounds skirt steak
  • 3 tbsp olive oil (natural)
  • 2 tbsp fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (natural)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (natural, gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar (natural)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika (natural)
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent (e.g., pectin or agar)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil (natural), apple cider vinegar (natural), soy sauce (natural), brown sugar (natural), fresh minced garlic, smoked paprika (natural), freshly ground black pepper, and the natural gelling agent until the mixture is well combined.
  2. Marinate the Steak: Place the skirt steak in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour the prepared marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight for maximum flavor absorption.
  3. Preheat Your Grill or Pan: Heat your grill or a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until hot to achieve a quick and effective char on the steak.
  4. Cook the Steak: Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Grill or pan-sear the skirt steak for 3 to 4 minutes per side depending on thickness. The goal is a flavorful char on the outside while maintaining juicy tenderness inside.
  5. Rest and Slice: Transfer the cooked steak to a plate and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes. This allows juices to redistribute. Slice the steak thinly against the grain for optimal tenderness and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Choose skirt steak cuts with good marbling for best flavor and texture.
  • Marinate at least 2 hours; do not exceed 24 hours to avoid over-tenderizing.
  • Ensure grill or pan is very hot to create a crisp char while sealing in juices.
  • Rest the steak before slicing to retain juiciness.
  • Slicing against the grain guarantees maximal tenderness with each bite.
