Ingredients
Scale
For the Marinade and Steak
- 1.5 pounds skirt steak
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, rice vinegar, and black pepper until well combined to form a flavorful marinade.
- Marinate the Steak: Place the skirt steak in a zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the steak is thoroughly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for 30 minutes up to 2 hours to infuse the flavors.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to high heat. Clean and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. Remove the steak from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Reserve a few tablespoons of marinade for basting if desired.
- Grill the Steak: Place the steak on the hot grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until it is nicely seared and caramelized. Optionally, baste the steak with the reserved marinade during grilling to enhance flavor and moisture.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the steak from the grill and allow it to rest for 5 minutes to let the juices redistribute. Slice thinly against the grain, garnish with chopped parsley if using, and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Marinating longer (up to 2 hours) intensifies flavor but avoid over-marinating to prevent the steak from becoming mushy.
- Make sure to slice against the grain for tender bites.
- Reserved marinade used for basting should be boiled if not fully cooked to ensure food safety.
- Can be served with grilled vegetables, rice, or salad for a complete meal.
