1
In a blender or food processor, combine all ingredients except steak. Pour the marinade into a glass dish (like Pyrex) or a large zip-top plastic bag. Add the steak and turn to coat. Refrigerate up to 24 hours.
2
Preheat the grill or a stove-top grill pan. When hot, remove the skirt steak from the marinade and grill until medium, about 5 minutes per side, depending on the steak's thickness. (Discard the remaining marinade.) Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes loosely covered with foil. Slice the steak thinly and serve.
