Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. In a bowl or ziplock bag, mix together the soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
  2. Add the skirt steak to the marinade, ensuring it is thoroughly coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for deeper flavor infusion.
  3. Remove the steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling. Preheat your grill to high heat, about 450–500°F, ensuring it’s nice and hot for that perfect sear.
  4. Pat the skirt steak dry with paper towels. Season both sides with kosher salt, and lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  5. Place the steak on the grill and cook for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remember to flip it only once to achieve a delicious crust.
  6. After grilling, let the steak rest for 5–10 minutes under a loose tent of foil. This allows the juices to redistribute, making it even more tender.
  7. Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain at a slight angle. This technique will ensure each bite is incredibly tender and flavorful.
  8. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro for a vibrant touch, and serve hot alongside your favorite sides.
