Doneness
Pull at 130 °F (54 °C) for medium-rare; the surface should be well browned and the interior pink. This thin cut cooks fast, so check early to avoid overshooting.
Oil & seasoning
Lightly oil the steak so the surface sears in the short cook time.
Season with: kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, cumin.
Watch out for
- Cook hot and fast — skirt steak toughens if cooked low and slow.
- Always slice thinly against the grain, or it's chewy.
- Pat it dry first so it browns instead of steaming.
- Rest a few minutes before slicing.
