Simple Yet Flavorful Skirt Steak Marinade

You will need:

  • skirt steakSkirt Steak
  • olive oilOlive Oil
  • soy sauceSoy Sauce
  • brown sugarBrown Sugar
  • garlic clovesGarlic Cloves
  • freshly ground black pepperFreshly Ground Black Pepper

Instructions

  1. First, in a medium-sized bowl, combine 1/2 cup of olive oil, 1/3 cup of soy sauce, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 2 teaspoons of freshly ground black pepper.
  2. Stir the mixture until the brown sugar is fully dissolved. This creates a balanced, sweet and savory marinade that will penetrate the steak.
  3. Next, place your skirt steak in a large dish or zip-lock bag. This cut of meat is thin and long, so ensure your chosen container can accommodate it.
  4. Pour your prepared marinade over the steak, making sure it's fully covered. The marinade will tenderize the steak and infuse it with flavor.
  5. Finally, allow the steak to marinate for at least 1 hour. If you have the time, letting it marinate for up to 24 hours will result in a deeper, more complex flavor. Remember to turn the steak occasionally to ensure even marination.

Notes

For best results, let the steak come to room temperature before grilling. This ensures even cooking. Also, always rest your steak for a few minutes after grilling before slicing to retain its juices.
