Instructions

First, add olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat.

While oil is heating up, pat steak dry with paper towels. Season on both sides with salt, pepper and garlic powder.

Carefully place steaks in the hot oil in the skillet. Use tongs and an oven mitt for protection. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes.

Then, flip steaks carefully. Cook for another 3 minutes or until internal temperature has reached 135 degrees Fahrenheit.

Finally, remove steak from pan. Place on a cutting board for 7 to 10 minutes. Then, slice against the grain and serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Grain Direction Matters 📍
Always slice skirt steak against the grain after cooking to break up the long muscle fibers and maximize tenderness in every bite.
Room Temperature Before Cooking 🌡️
Remove skirt steak from refrigeration 20-30 minutes before cooking to ensure even heat distribution and a perfect crust throughout.
High-Heat Searing Secret 🔥
Pat the meat completely dry before searing and use a screaming hot cast-iron or stainless steel skillet to develop a flavorful Maillard crust in just 3-4 minutes per side.
Garlic Infusion Technique 🧄
Bloom garlic powder in the hot olive oil for 30 seconds before adding the steak to intensify its flavor and create a more complex seasoning profile.
Rest and Reverse-Slice Method ✂️
Let the cooked steak rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain at a slight angle to create elegant pieces that retain maximum juiciness.
