Cooking Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix lime juice, soy sauce, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, black pepper, and olive oil. This forms the marinade.
2. Soak your skirt steak in the marinade, ensuring it’s fully submerged. Leave it for at least 2 to 3 hours (or overnight if possible).
3. Preheat your grill or pan to high heat.
4. Grill the steak for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until it reaches your preferred level of doneness. Rest for 5 minutes.
5. While the steak is resting, lightly grill the mixed salad on the same grill or pan, for a slightly warm and crunchy texture.
6. Serve the steak with mixed salad and a side of cooked quinoa.

Plating

Slice the grilled skirt steak into thin slices. On a white square plate, arrange the sliced meat on one side. On the other side, lovingly toss the grilled mixed salad and cooked quinoa, keeping the components distinct but in harmony. Drizzle a little of the remaining marinade over the salad and meat for an extra flavor burst. The vibrant colors of the salad and the glistening steak present an enticing and nutritious meal. Magnificent to behold and even better to consume.
