Ingredients
0.75 pound skirt steak
0.25 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons honey
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
0.5 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped chives or green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, olive oil, rice vinegar, and black pepper until honey is dissolved.
2. Place skirt steak in a resealable bag or dish and pour marinade over it, ensuring full coverage. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
3. Preheat grill to high heat (around 450°F to 500°F).
4. Remove steak from marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your preferred doneness.
5. Let steak rest for 5 minutes after grilling.
6. Slice steak thinly against the grain.
7. Garnish with chopped chives or green onions and serve immediately.
Notes
Marinate the steak overnight for deeper flavor and more tender texture.
Always slice against the grain to ensure tenderness.
Let the steak rest before slicing to preserve juices.
