Scale
Marinade Ingredients
- 1 cup hot sauce
- ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
- 2 Tbsp white vinegar
- 2 Tbsp minced onion
- 2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 6 Tbsp brown sugar
Main Ingredient
- 2 lb skirt steak or other cut of beef
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, white vinegar, minced onion, minced garlic, olive oil, and brown sugar until well combined to create the marinade.
- Marinate the Steak: Pour the marinade over the skirt steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to deeply penetrate the meat.
- Preheat the Grill: When ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat to ensure a good sear and even cooking.
- Grill the Steak: Remove the steak from the marinade and place it on the hot grill. Cook the skirt steak for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, depending on your desired level of doneness.
- Rest and Serve: Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing against the grain and serving to maximize tenderness and flavor.
Notes
- The skirt steak cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking.
- If you prefer less heat, adjust the amount or type of hot sauce used.
- Marinating overnight will yield the most flavorful and tender results.
- For best flavor, slice the steak thinly against the grain.
- Can be paired nicely with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
