Ingredients
Skirt steak
3 lbs (Cut into 8 pieces)
Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons (For marinating)
Canola oil
1 - 2 tablespoons (For sautéing)
Salt
to taste (For seasoning)
Instructions
1
Begin by cutting the skirt steak into 8 equal pieces, ensuring even cooking.
2
In a pyrex dish, brush each piece of steak generously with Worcestershire sauce. Allow the meat to marinate for about 15 minutes at room temperature or in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor.
3
After marinating, lightly pat the steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Season both sides of each steak liberally with salt.
4
In a nonstick or heavy skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
5
Carefully place half of the marinated steaks in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Sear the steaks for about 3 minutes on one side until browned, then flip and cook for an additional 3 minutes for medium-rare doneness.
6
Remove the cooked steaks from the skillet and transfer them to a platter. Add the remaining canola oil to the skillet and repeat the cooking process with the second batch of steaks.
7
Once all steaks are cooked, loosely cover the platter with aluminum foil, allowing the meat to rest for about 5 minutes to retain its juices before serving. Enjoy with your choice of sides!
