Why You’ll Love This Savory Grilled Skirt Steak with Honey Garlic Marinade

– It’s like the secret weapon of BBQs – people will think you’re a steak wizard.
– The honey garlic marinade takes almost zero effort but adds all the flavor vibes.
– Perfect excuse to fire up the grill and sip on something cold while you wait.

How to Make It

Okay, imagine you’re right here with me, drink in hand, chatting while we get this grill party started. First, you grab your ingredients. Now, take your skirt steak and pop it into a big ol’ zip-top bag – makes cleanup a breeze, right? Throw in some soy sauce, honey, and just a hint of sesame oil (unless you forgot it at the store, in which case, no biggie). Toss in a few crushed garlic cloves like you mean it, squeeze in some lemon juice if you’re feeling zesty. Give it all a loving massage, seal the bag, and let it marinate while you daydream about how amazing dinner will be. After a couple of hours, or whenever you remember, it’s grill time. Get your grill nice and hot – like envy-of-the-neighborhood hot. Toss on your steak and listen to that sizzle. After a few minutes, give it a flip, wait a bit longer, then rescue it before it turns into old leather. That’s it! Dinner is served.

Ingredient Notes

– Skirt Steak: It’s thin, cooks fast, and it’s got personality. Just be sure to stand guard so it doesn’t overcook.
– Soy Sauce: Brings the salty magic. Don’t overdo it unless you’re into super salty vibes.
– Honey: Sweet, sticky, and makes the grill marks pop. Careful not to let it burn though, been there, done that.
– Garlic: Your best friend in the kitchen. If you forget it, no judgment here, but try not to.

Recipe Steps
1. Grab your skirt steak and put it in a big zip-top bag.
2. Add soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, crushed garlic, and lemon juice into the bag.
3. Seal the bag and massage everything together.
4. Let it marinate for a couple of hours in the fridge.
5. Heat up your grill until it’s hot enough to sizzle.
6. Grill the steak for a few minutes on each side, flipping once.
7. Remove from grill and let it rest a bit before slicing.

What to Serve It With

This steak is like the glorious star of a summer meal. I love serving it with a big ol’ bowl of grilled veggies or maybe some crispy potato wedges. Or hey, go old-school with some mustardy potato salad. For green lovers, throw a quick salad together, no need to overcomplicate things.

Tips & Mistakes

– Get that grill smokin’ hot for the best sear. You want a dance-off, not a slow waltz.
– Don’t walk away from the grill unless you want a charcoal steak – it happens fast, folks.
– Give it a rest post-grill so all the juices hang in there when you slice.

Storage Tips

Gonna be real with you, leftovers don’t last long in my house — but if you manage to save some, just pop it in a Tupperware and into the fridge it goes. If you’re brave enough to snack on it cold, kudos, but it’s a quick zap in the microwave from being breakfast steak tacos. No shame in that!

Variations and Substitutions

If your pantry is bare, swaps are your saviors. Use tamari instead of soy sauce if you want to skip the gluten bit. No honey? Try sugar or maple syrup, but honey is the bees’ knees. You can skip the sesame oil if you’re out; this isn’t a showstopper. And, if you fall into an “oops, stuck without fresh pineapple” moment like I have, pull out the can and go wild. Just drain it first like you mean it.
