Skirt Steak With Balsamic Marinade

Combine the mustard, cilantro, lemon zest, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper in a non-reactive container or zip-top plastic bag. Add the skirt steak and turn to coat the meat in the marinade. Cover the container or seal the bag and let the skirt steak marinate for 1 hour at room temperature.

Set the broiler to high heat (or see alternative cooking instructions). Remove the meat from the marinade and discard the marinade.

Place the meat and garlic cloves on a broiler pan. Place under the broiler and broil for 5 minutes per side or until the meat is the desired doneness. The meat should read 130 degrees F for medium rare.

Remove the meat from the oven. Mash the garlic cloves and spread on the meat. Slice the meat against the grain.

Other ways to cook the skirt steak: Place in a hot, lightly oiled cast iron skillet or grill pan and cook the steak for 5 minutes per side along with the garlic cloves. Or, cook in a 450 degrees F oven for 10-15 minutes (turning as needed).
