The way to my husband’s heart is definitely through his stomach…..and this steak is probably one of his all time favorites. A great cut of Skirt Steak is needed for this recipe. I usually purchase this from Whole Foods and they trim it so there is barely any fat on the strip. I serve this up with Cilantro Lime Rice, Black Beans, Sweet Plantains and a side of Chimichurri sauce. Leftovers of the steak were moist & I ate it as a steak sandwich at work the next day.
