Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds skirt steak
- 1 cup stout beer
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
Directions
- In a bowl, whisk together the stout beer, minced garlic, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, black pepper, smoked paprika, and salt.
- Place the skirt steak in a shallow dish or a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
- Grill the skirt steak for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F.
- Once cooked, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. This step is important to allow the juices to redistribute and ensure maximum tenderness.
- Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Serve immediately and enjoy!
