Description
This Honey-Garlic Grilled Skirt Steak delivers bold flavor with minimal effort. Sweet honey, sharp garlic, and savory soy sauce come together in a caramelized glaze that clings to juicy, tender slices of beef. It’s the perfect quick-grill recipe that works just as well for weeknight dinners or summer gatherings.
Ingredients
1.5 pounds skirt steak
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons soy sauce
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, garlic, olive oil, rice vinegar, and black pepper to form the marinade.
2. Place the skirt steak in a zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour in the marinade. Coat evenly and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
3. Preheat your grill to high heat. Clean and oil the grates. Remove steak from marinade, letting excess drip off. Reserve a few tablespoons of marinade if you’d like to baste while grilling.
4. Grill the steak for 3–4 minutes per side until nicely seared and caramelized. Baste with reserved marinade during grilling if using.
5. Remove steak from grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain. Garnish with parsley and serve.
Notes
For maximum tenderness, always slice skirt steak against the grain.
Marinate no more than 2 hours to prevent overly soft texture from the vinegar.
If cooking indoors, use a cast iron skillet on high heat for similar charred results.
