Equipment

1 Instant Read Thermometer

Ingredients

2 pounds skirt steak
2 tablespoons beef seasoning

For the Marinade

1 cup red wine
½ cup Worcestershire sauce
½ small onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
2 cloves garlic, smashed
2 sprigs rosemary

Instructions

Marinate: Combine all marinade ingredients together in a large 1-gallon plastic bag and mix together (or use any other airtight container). Add the meat, seal the bag, and place in a large baking dish or bowl (this is in case your bag isn’t properly sealed). Place in refrigerator for 30-60 minutes.
Prep: Preheat grill for direct grilling targeting 500 degrees in the cooking chamber. Remove the meat from the marinade and pat dry with a paper towel. Season the meat with dry rub.
Grill: Place skirt steak on the grill grates over direct heat for roughly three minutes. Then flip and place over direct heat for two minutes. If your instant read thermometer is showing the steak still in the rare range and you want to cook more, place on indirect side and close the lid for no more than three more minutes. It cooks quickly. We like ours served rare, or roughly 120 degrees (F) internal temperature.
Rest: Let rest for 10 minutes to let juices settle and then slice against the grain. Serve.

Notes

Gas Grill: It’s easy to modify this on a gas grill. The cook time is the same. Light two burners (or three if you have them) on medium-high heat so the ambient temperature of the cooking chamber is 500 degrees. Place the seasoned skirt steak on the grill grate over direct heat source. Then follow the recipe as directed.

Grill Pan: If you are cooking inside on a grill pan it’s best to follow the marinade and seasoning process. Then cut the skirt steak into pieces that will fit on the grill pan. Set the burner to high, season the grill pan with olive oil, and then sear. It may require more flipping to avoid burning. Be sure you run proper ventilation because it will smoke.
