Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, grill seasoning, oregano, salt, and pepper. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Add the skirt steak to the bowl and toss to ensure it is evenly coated in the marinade. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, for maximum flavor penetration. (8 hours to overnight)

04

Step

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer. Carefully place the marinated skirt steak in the hot skillet. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Cook the steak uncovered until the liquids released from the steak have mostly evaporated, about 3 to 5 minutes. (3-5 minutes)

06

Step

Reduce the heat to medium, cover the skillet, and cook for 15 minutes. (15 minutes)

07

Step

Uncover the skillet, flip the steak, and add water to the skillet as needed to maintain moisture and prevent burning. (2 minutes)

08

Step

Continue cooking until the steak is slightly firm to the touch, feels hot, and is lightly pink in the center, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the steak should register 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). (15 minutes)

09

Step

Transfer the cooked steak to a serving plate and set aside. Do not discard the flavorful liquid remaining in the skillet. (2 minutes)

10

Step

Add the chopped onion to the skillet with the reserved liquids and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. (5 minutes)

11

Step

Reduce the heat to low, add the drained mushrooms to the skillet, and cook, stirring, until they are heated through, about 5 minutes. (5 minutes)

12

Step

Pour the onion and mushroom mixture over the cooked skirt steak to serve immediately.

For an even deeper flavor, marinate the skirt steak for a full 24 hours.
Adjust the amount of grill seasoning and balsamic vinegar to suit your personal taste preferences.
If you prefer a more well-done steak, continue cooking for a few additional minutes, but be careful not to overcook it.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
