This Herbed Skirt Steak recipe is so easy I wanted to call it How To Make Skirt Steak Without a Recipe but that seemed too long. Other ideas were: no brainer, stupid easy, and no fail. You get the idea.
This is an easy weeknight, last minute or freezer meal. Are you confused? Don't be.
Marinated Skirt Steak only involves a few ingredients which can be added in any amount without screwing it up. Seriously. Make the marinade and throw it in the fridge in the morning or make it last minute and let it sit for twenty minutes. The flavor will be more intense if it marinates a bit longer. Or do some make ahead freezer meals and make the marinade when you get home from the grocery. Throw it on the steak, put it in the freezer and rejoice when you pull that baby out for a weeknight fifteen minute meal.
How easy it that? It's delicious on chicken, shrimp, fish and potatoes. Grill it outside as I did or make in on the stovetop in a grill pan.

I have decided after this meal that my family has officially become the two skirt steak family. This was not enough. Not to mention the leftovers would be delicious. I'm not sure why I still pretend my kids are little and that my almost twelve-year-old boy doesn't eat a lot. He's growing so fast that he looks me in the eye and I can borrow his shoes. He needs protein!
Our goal should be to keep our kids around the dinner table as long as possible. So give this a try and let me know how it goes.
