The Perfect Skirt Steak Marinade

Serves:

4

[object Object]

Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce

  • 1 tsp Chinese Five Spice Powder (click for my fave from Pezneys Spices)

  • 1 Thumb of ginger, peeled and pressed (I use a garlic press, you can mince it if you don’t have one)

  • Pepper to taste

  • 1.5 lb Skirt Steak (Trim excess fat from edges if needed. If you do not have the grill space to lay it flat, you can cut it in the middle to make 2 long pieces)

Preparation

  1. In a small bowl mix your soy sauce, pressed ginger, your teaspoon of Chinese Five Spice Powder and a few grinds of pepper. Set aside.

  2. Trim any tremendous amounts of excess fat off your skirt steam and place in a large zip lock.

  3. Add marinade, seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. I typically refrigerate mine for 4 hours.

  4. Heat your grill, get it nice and HOT - you want a good sear on it. Place your steak on the grill and let it cook for 3 - 5 minutes depending on the thickness of your cut and how you like your steak. DO NOT OVERCOOK.

  5. Baste the up side, flip your steak after your 3- 5minutes and cook the other side for an additional 3 - 5 minutes as well, basting it once again.

  6. When it is done, place it in a shallow dish and allow it to sit for 5 minutes before slicing across with the grain of the meat and serving.


Need a side option: I love this with some asparagus and cherry tomatoes tossed in oil, s&p and cooked in a grill basket!
