This Grilled Chili Rubbed Skirt Steak is not only delicious but has a plethora of serving options. It can be served this as an entrée with a baked potato and side salad, on toasted hoagie rolls or as kicked-up steak tacos. It’s terrific served over salad greens for a hearty dinner salad, too.

Easy Grilled Chili Rubbed Skirt Steak Recipe

Grilling is a year-round happening at our house, both indoor and outdoor. Our outdoor grill never gets “put away” for the Winter, but when it’s just too cold to brave the elements I use my indoor grill pan for equally delicious results. I’m a firm believer that cooking doesn’t have to be complicated to be good. I’ve used this same rub for grilling flank steak and London broil as well, adjusting the grilling time based on the thickness of the meat. This simple recipe produces restaurant quality results at your own kitchen table. It doesn’t get any better than that.

How to Make the Best Grilled Chili Rubbed Skirt Steak Recipe

When making this skirt steak recipe, it’s important to allow the steak ample time to soak in the seasonings for the best flavor.

Ingredients you’ll need to make this Skirt Steak recipe: Two pounds of skirt steak, fresh lime juice, dark chili powder, olive oil, ground cumin, minced garlic, paprika, garlic salt and Mexican oregano.
If you don’t have Mexican oregano, you can use 1/2 the amount substituting Italian oregano.
The longer you allow the steak to marinate in the flavorful rub, the better the flavor. I recommend at least for at least 4 hours or overnight. This will not only give the flavor time to permeate the meat, but it’s also a terrific time saver for busy weekday meals or when your entertaining family and friends.
The chili lime rub for this steak recipe is literally as simple as mixing everything together in a bowl and generously rubbing the steak on all sides.
The grilling time I include for this chili lime skirt steak is for cooking the steak to medium. I don’t recommend going past that point for this particular cut of beef or it could turn into shoe leather.
Why does steak need a few minutes to rest? This allows the juices in the meat to redistribute so the steak will be nice and tender.
Store leftover skirt steak in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Transform it into a steak quesadilla, steak sandwich, tacos or as a topping for a crispy mixed greens salad as a round two meal.
