- ⅓ cup dry sherry
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey

- 1 tsp crushed red pepper
- 1 cup chimichurri sauce, optional
Instructions
- Season steak with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Combine the olive oil, dry sherry, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and red pepper in a zip-top plastic bag (or shallow baking dish). Place steak in the bag and let marinate on the countertop for 30 minutes.*
- Preheat grill to high heat (at least 500 degrees or higher if possible), clean grates and brush with oil if needed.
- Remove steak from marinade (discard any remaining marinade) and sear on the hot grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until the steak reaches an internal temperature of 130 degrees F. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing the steak AGAINST the grain into thin strips. Serve with the chimichurri sauce if desired.

Tips and Tricks
- A simple yet flavorful mix – olive oil, dry sherry, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and crushed red pepper. The honey in the marinade helps to caramelize the steak’s surface.
- Use high heat for grilling as skirt steak is best cooked quickly due to its tough fibers. Aim for 500 degrees+ if possible.
- Slice the steak against the grain to ensure tenderness. Visibly note the direction of the fibers (the grain) to slice perpendicular to it, usually after dividing the steak into manageable pieces.
