Cooking
- Heat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat for a nice sear.
- Place the marinated skirt steak on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until medium-rare. Adjust cooking time for your preference.
- Remove the steak and let it rest for 10 minutes to redistribute juices.
- Slice the skirt steak against the grain into thin strips.

Notes
Consider using a cast-iron skillet for a well-charred steak. Medium-rare offers the best flavor and tenderness. For variations, try different proteins or toppings.
