Cajun Skirt Steak
Instructions
-
Start by making the marinade. Combine 1/4 cup of olive oil, soy sauce, worcestershire sauce, red wine vinegar and 2 tablespoons of lime juice together. Give it a nice stir.
-
Pat the skirt steak dry with a paper towel. Then apply a liberal amount of salt, pepper, white pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika and oregano on the meat. Also add cayenne pepper but go light, it’s spicy!
-
Once you’ve done this, place the steak and the marinade into a ziploc bag and marinate in the fridge for a few hours or overnight.
-
Before cooking the steak, make sure you take it out of the fridge for at least 30 minutes so that it gets to room temperature.
-
When you’re ready to cook the steak, make sure you pat it dry with a paper towel. The dryer the surface of the steak, the better the sear you will get.
-
While you’re doing this, have a cast iron skillet (or something similar) heating up on the stove top. You want it as hot as it can go - but don’t put oil in yet.
-
When you’re ready to cook, add some olive or grape seed oil to the pan and immediately put the steak down. Cook on high heat for 2 minutes on each side. This steak cooks fast!
-
Once you’re done, remove the steak and let it rest for 5 or so minutes on a cutting board before slicing.
