Spicy Skirt Steak

By , About.com Guide

Skirt Steaks are very flavorful but can be tough. By letting it sit for while with the wet rub on it, it will become tenderized. Remember to grill it hot and fast and don't overcook.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 3/4- to 1-pound skirt steak
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 large garlic clove, minced
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Preparation:

Trim fat from steak. Cut steak into serving pieces. Mash garlic and salt together to form a paste. Mix together chili powder, cumin, garlic paste, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, pepper, allspice, and oil and rub all over meat. Marinate meat in a resealable plastic bag. Let sit in refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Prepare grill. Cook steaks until medium rare. Remove from grill and cut across grain into thin strips. Serve as desired. Try serving it with tortillas or over brown rice.
