Ingredients
  

  • Chimichurri sauce for serving
  • 2 pounds of skirt steak
  • 1 ½ cups of mojo marinade

Instructions
 

  • Place the skirt steak into a suitable container, such as a dish or resealable bag. Pour the mojo marinade evenly over the meat, ensuring full coverage. Seal the container tightly and refrigerate for a minimum of 3 hours, allowing the flavors to infuse deeply. For optimal results, extend the marination period to 24 hours.
  • Preheat your grill to a high temperature of 500°F to achieve the ideal sear. Remove the steak from the marinade, shaking off any excess liquid. Lay the steak onto the hot grill and cook for 3 minutes on one side. Flip and grill for an additional 3 minutes, or until the steak reaches your preferred level of doneness.
  • Remove the steak from the grill and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. Wrapping it in aluminum foil during this time helps retain its juices, ensuring maximum tenderness.
  • Once rested, slice the steak thinly against the grain to achieve a tender texture. Serve immediately with a generous topping of chimichurri sauce for a flavorful finish.

Notes

To preserve leftovers, store the cooled steak in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
Reheat gently using a microwave for about one minute, or warm in a skillet over medium heat for 3–5 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Utilize an instant-read meat thermometer to guarantee your steak is cooked to your desired level of doneness:
Rare: 120°F to 130°F
Medium Rare: 130°F to 135°F
Medium: 135°F to 145°F
Medium Well: 145°F to 155°F
Well Done: 155°F to 165°F
