This skirt steak marinade is an easy marinade recipe with flavors of lemon, savory garlic and cumin. The results are an ultra-tasty, juicy and tender grilled steak!
Combine the olive oil, lime, garlic, salt, cumin and pepper in a large bowl. Add the steak and marinate for at least 20 to 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator. Set out 30 minutes before cooking.
Use tongs to transfer to a preheated grill and cook until it reaches desired doneness (about 3 to 4 minutes per side over high heat). Remove from grill and allow to rest 5 minutes before slicing.
Cut against the grain and serve as desired.
Notes
Make ahead: This marinade can be made up to 3 days in advance, however I don't recommend marinating the meat longer than 24 hours. Typically I like to add the meat in the morning and grill that evening. Storing: Discard any leftover marinade and do not reuse. You can store leftover meat in a covered container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
