  • Add skirt steak to ziploc bag with marinade and allow to marinade up to 6-7 hours max depending on how thick the meat is.
  • When ready to grill, liberally season with salt and pepper.

Notes

After grilling your steak and allowing it to rest , is the best time to cut it. Take your steak and always cut against the grain in thin slices.
