Thai Marinated Skirt Steak

Skirt steak is a long, flat cut that is more flavorful than tender. It is great in fajitas and stir fries, and marinates really well. I love to grill skirt steak. It has a wonderful flavor, responds well to marinades, and cooks up in minutes! It's simple and tasty, the perfect summer grilling food.

So I decided to whip up a spicy Asian version using my favorite Thai marinade. It combines lots of really intense flavors for a tangy and spicy marinade. The flavors work well with the steak, and I garnished it with some chopped cilantro, green onions and a lime wedge. Remember to slice against the grain to minimize toughness!
