Delicious Grilled Skirt Steak Recipe - Italian Main Course

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 lb skirt steak (trimmed)
  • 1 cup olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Marinate the Steak

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, rosemary, balsamic vinegar, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Add skirt steak and coat well. Cover and marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight.

    For best flavor, marinate overnight.
  2. Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat. Ensure grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

    A hot grill sears the steak, locking in juices.
  3. Grill the Steak

    Remove steak from marinade and let excess drip off. Place on the grill and cook for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

    Avoid pressing down on the steak to keep it juicy.
  4. Rest the Steak

    Once cooked, remove steak from grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps retain juices.

    Cover loosely with foil while resting.
  5. Slice and Serve

    Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

    Slicing against the grain ensures tenderness.
