Skirt Steak with Cilantro-Garlic Marinade
Skirt Steak is a quick cooking cut that's melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Marinading this steak prior to grilling will infuse the meat with plenty of flavor while also tenderizing the steak. We recommend searing it on the grill at high heat (400F) for 2-3 minutes per side to a juicy, medium-rare. *This marinaded steak is Whole30, Paleo, and Keto-friendly.
Sliced and layered with grilled onions, avocado, mustard, truffle aioli, and a drizzle of the reserved marinade on a ciabatta roll, this skirt steak makes a next level steak sandwich too!
