Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, low-sodium soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, fresh lime juice, and minced garlic until fully combined. Stir in light brown sugar, ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
- Trim excess fat from the skirt steak and pat it dry with paper towels. Place the steak on a cutting board.
- Place the skirt steak into a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it's fully covered. Seal the bag or cover the dish tightly and refrigerate for 4 to 12 hours.
- Take the marinated steak out of the refrigerator 30 to 45 minutes before cooking to come to room temperature. Preheat your grill or skillet to high heat, about 450-500°F.
- Pat the skirt steak dry again with paper towels. Place the steak on the cooking surface. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, flipping only once.
- Once cooked, transfer the skirt steak to a cutting board and tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Slice the skirt steak thinly against the grain, aiming for 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick pieces. Serve immediately.

Notes
Marinate for at least 6 hours for maximum flavor. Slice against the grain for tender results.
