Ingredients

• 2 pounds skirt steak
• 1 cup bourbon
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the skirt steak on a clean cutting board. Trim any excess fat or silver skin and cut it into manageable pieces if necessary for grilling (approximately 6-8 inch sections).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the bourbon, soy sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, black pepper, smoked paprika, and olive oil until combined.

Step 3

Transfer the steak pieces into a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish tightly, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to deeply penetrate the meat.

Step 4

When ready to cook, preheat your grill to high heat (about 450-500°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess liquid drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 6

Grill the skirt steak over high heat for about 3-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, for medium-rare or your preferred level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer if needed; the internal temperature should be about 130°F for medium-rare.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest on a clean cutting board, loosely covered with foil, for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Slice the steak thinly against the grain into strips for maximum tenderness.

Step 9

Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy immediately!
