Recipe View 0 mins Slice the skirt steak against the grain into thin strips. Serve immediately with your favorite blue cheese dressing for dipping or drizzling.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a minced clove of garlic to the marinade.
To prevent the steak from sticking to the grill or skillet, lightly oil the cooking surface before adding the steak.
If you prefer a more intense sear, pat the steak dry with paper towels before cooking.
The blue cheese dressing can be substituted with other sauces, such as chimichurri, salsa verde, or even a simple vinaigrette, depending on your preference.
Skirt steak is best served immediately after cooking. However, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    The resting time is crucial! Don't skip it, or you'll lose all the juices.

    The mustard and lemon juice combination is genius. It adds a wonderful tang that complements the richness of the steak perfectly.
