Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 ¼-1 ½ pounds skirt steak
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Italian Salsa Verde, for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl or large zip-top bag, combine olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and thyme.
  • Trim excess fat from the skirt steak and cut it crosswise into thirds.
  • Place the steak into the marinade and ensure every piece is well-coated. Marinate at room temperature for 30-60 minutes or refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (600°F), or alternatively, use a grill pan over medium-high.
  • If the steak was refrigerated, let it sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes before grilling.
  • Remove the steak from the marinade, scraping off excess garlic. Pat dry and season with salt and pepper.
  • Grill the steak 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare doneness (internal temperature of 130°F). Adjust if using a grill pan.
  • Allow the steak to rest under loose foil for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
  • Drizzle with salsa verde, serving the remainder at the table.
