Herb Marinated Skirt Steak

My family loves the tender, juicy flavor of skirt steak, but this yummy marinade goes well with just about any cut of beef. From tri-tip to flank steak or even poured over a roast in the slow cooker, this marinade will fast become one of your go-to recipes. The fresh herbs are the star of the show here, so be sure not to take a shortcut and use dried. It just wouldn’t be the same.

STEAK

• 2 pounds skirt steak, cut into thirds

MARINADE

• 1/3 cup olive oil

2. When ready to cook, heat the grill to medium-high heat.

6. Slice the steak against the grain, and serve.
