Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Marinade

In a blender, combine the garlic, olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, salt, black pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Blend until smooth.

2

Marinate the Steak

Place the skirt steak in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Cooking

3

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450°F to 500°F).

4

Grill the Steak

Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Grill the steak for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

5

Rest the Steak

Transfer the grilled steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Serving

6

Slice and Serve

Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Serve immediately, topped with chopped onion and chopped cilantro, and with lime wedges on the side.
