Ingredients

1 & 1/2 pound skirt steak
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup soy sauce
4 scallions, thinly sliced, green part only
3 garlic cloves minced
2 small limes juice freshly squeezed
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/4 cup fresh cilantro rough chop
taco toppings of your choice

Instructions

Place skirt steak in a resealable gallon-sized bag. Whisk together the olive oil, soy, scallions, garlic, lime juice, cumin, brown sugar, and fresh cilantro in a small bowl. Pour marinade over the steak and marinate at least one hour, but best overnight.
Grill over high heat for about 5 minutes on each side, until the internal temperature reaches 140°F in the thickest part of the steak. Take it off the heat and cover with foil, let rest for 5-10 minutes. Slice against the grain and serve with tortillas and your favorite taco toppings.
