Ingredients
- 1 lb skirt steak
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp hot sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Remove the skirt steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature, which ensures even cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, hot sauce, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Place the skirt steak in the marinade, ensuring it is completely coated. Cover and let marinate for 10-15 minutes at room temperature.
- Preheat a grill or cast-iron skillet to high heat, aiming for a temperature around 450-500°F.
- Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off. Pat the meat dry with paper towels to ensure proper searing.
- Place the steak on the hot grill or skillet, cooking for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare doneness.
- Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature: 130-135°F for medium-rare, 140-145°F for medium.
- Remove steak from heat and let rest on a cutting board for 5-7 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips for maximum tenderness.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Always let your steak rest at room temperature before cooking to ensure even heat distribution.
- Marinade Magic: Don't over-marinate! 10-15 minutes is perfect to infuse flavor without breaking down the meat's texture.
- Searing Secrets: Use a scorching hot grill or cast-iron skillet to achieve that perfect caramelized exterior.
- Meat Thermometer Mastery: For the most precise doneness, invest in a good meat thermometer.
- Slice Strategically: Always cut against the grain to guarantee maximum tenderness.
- Garnish Generously: Fresh parsley isn't just decoration – it adds a bright, fresh finish to the rich, bold flavors.
