Cilantro, fish sauce and lime team up to quickly flavor grilled skirt steak. The saltiness of the steak pairs perfectly with pepper-lime dipping sauce. Grate the zest from the same limes you will juice to make the sauce.

Tip

Don't leave the steak to marinate for longer than 1 hour. The fish sauce will make it too salty.

Excellent marinade.
Another brilliant way to use fish sauce.

Easy and delicious
This recipe was a hit for my family. We often grill steaks, so this was a nice change in flavor vs the typical red meat grilling in our house, and the steaks were plenty juicy and flavorful (no need for a sauce or accompaniment…we just used a little white rice and veggies on the side). I tried the peppercorn sauce suggested with the recipe and was not a fan at all. The steak doesn’t need it in my view, and it’s basically just ground peppercorns.

Bursts with flavor.
Didn't even bother making the dipping sauce. Just loved the salty/cilantro slightly sweet flavor. I only let it marinade after seeing your headnote about going to long and it was perfectly seasoned on my skirt steak.

My family enjoyed this very much. Very flavorful! Lately, skirt steak has gotten very expensive in my area. Is there another cut of beef that would work ?
