Sliced skirt steak

Marinated Skirt Steak

This steak marinade can be used for nearly any cut, but we particularly like skirt steak. Just be sure to slice it against the grain for tender, flavorful bites!

Equipment

  • A grill preheated to 400°.
  • A sous vide machine and bag (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup soy sauce or tamari
  • cup olive oil
  • cup Worchestershire sauce
  • cup hot sauce
  • cup brown sugar
  • cup rice wine vinegar
  • ¼ cup Dijon mustard
  • 4 cloves garlic, pressed
  • red pepper flakes to taste
  • 1 trimmed skirt steak or any other steak for marinating

Instructions
 

  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Whisk well and season to taste.
  • Cut the skirt steak into even pieces- about 8" long. A full skirt steak should make 3-4 8" pieces.
  • Pour marinade over steak in a dish and cover tightly.
  • Place in fridge for at least an hour and up to a full day.

If using Sous Vide... (if not, jump to next section)

  • Set up sous vide machine with a deep basin of water and preheat to 132.5°.
  • Remove meat from marinade and place is a tightly sealed bag.
  • Submerge bag in sous vide basin and cook for at least 1.5 hours.

If you're not using a Sous Vide (and post-sous vide directions)

  • Preheat your grill to 400° or higher.
  • Remove meat from marinade or sous vide and pat gently dry with a paper towel.
  • Sear about 3 minutes per side to build a nice crust. Flip over and repeat searing.
  • Allow to rest for 10 minutes. Then slice against the grain and serve.

Notes

You absolutely do not need to use a Sous Vide machine for this cook. A cut like skirt steak can be cooked hot and fast for equally-delicious results.
