Method
 

Preparation
  1. Trim the skirt steak of any excess fat and silverskin, then cut into 3-4 pieces for easy handling.
  2. Sprinkle kosher salt over the steak pieces for maximum flavor and place in a resealable plastic bag.
  3. In a bowl, mix together olive oil, red wine vinegar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, and ground pepper until well blended.
  4. Pour the marinade over the steak in the bag, seal tightly, and refrigerate for 2 to 12 hours, flipping occasionally.
  5. Preheat your grill to high heat (around 450°F) or prepare a skillet on medium-high heat.
  6. Remove the steak from the marinade, let it sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, and pat dry with paper towels.
  7. Grill the skirt steak for 3-4 minutes per side, checking for a nice char and an internal temperature of 125-130°F for medium-rare.
  8. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes after grilling, then slice against the grain into half-inch wide pieces.

Notes

Ensure steak is at room temperature before grilling for better flavor absorption. Patting dry the steak reduces flare-ups. Avoid overcrowding the grill for the best results.
