Grilled Spiced Garlic Skirt Steak Recipe

Grilled Spiced Garlic Skirt Steak Recipe

  • a 3/4- to 1-pound skirt steak
  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced and mashed to a paste with 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Accompaniment:Sweet-Onion Quesadillas
  1. Prepare grill.
  2. Cut steak into large pieces if necessary to fit on grill.
  3. In a small bowl stir together remaining ingredients. On a sheet of wax paper spread spice paste evenly on both sides of steak. Marinate steak at room temperature 15 minutes.
  4. Grill steak on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until just springy to the touch, for medium-rare meat. (Alternately, steak may be grilled in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.)
  5. On a cutting board let steak stand 5 minutes and cut diagonally across grain into thin slices. Serve steak with quesadillas.
