BBQ steak is delicious! This recipe uses skirt steak that is cooked low and slow to get a smoky flavor.

The key to this recipe is marinating the steak in lime juice before BBQing.

BBQ Steak

Ingredients

Meat:

  • 3 pounds of Skirt Steak (or Flank Steak)

Marinade:

  • 2 teaspoons of Sea Salt
  • 2 teaspoons of Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
  • 4 Tablespoons of Lime Juice
  • 1/4 Cup of Extra-Virgin Olive Oil

Directions

  1. In a pan or large bowl, add the olive oil and lime juice to the steak.
  2. Add all of the dry spices to all sides of the steak.
  3. If marinading for over 1 hour, place in the refrigerator.
  4. Prepare the fire in the grill (preferably, a charcoal grill).
  5. On the grill is heated, place the marinaded steak pieces over indirect heat.
  6. Cook for 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the heat of the BBQ and how you like your steak cooked.
  7. Before taking the steak off the grill, sear the top and bottom over the direct fire to get some nice grill marks.
  8. Slice against (perpendicular) the grain of the meat and serve with your favorite side dishes (bread, French fries, etc.).

Tips

  • A common grilling method with tougher cuts of meat is to do a revere-sear, where the tri-tip is cooked over indirect heat at first and then finished over the fire to mark the meat.
  • This steak works perfect in tacos or quesadillas.
