Ingredients
For the Skirt Steak Marinade:
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, plus more for serving
1 tbsp honey
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tsp dijon mustard
1 tsp dried oregano
1 3/4 tsp kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 lbs skirt steak
Flaky sea salt (optional)
For the Lemon Herb Couscous Salad:
1 cup dry Israeli couscous
1 mini cucumber, chopped
4 scallions, chopped
1/4 cup fresh dill, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
1/4 cup crumbled feta (or non-dairy alternative)
Instructions
- Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, garlic, dijon mustard, oregano, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
- Place the skirt steak in a shallow dish, pour half of the marinade over it, and coat fully. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 30-45 minutes or up to 2 hours in the fridge. Let steak come to room temperature before grilling.
- Cook the couscous according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool. Pat dry with a paper towel.
- Toss the cooled couscous with the remaining marinade, cucumber, scallions, dill, parsley, and feta. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat (450°-500°F).
- Grill the skirt steak for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your liking. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
- Sprinkle with flaky sea salt (optional) and serve with fresh lemon juice.
Notes
- Grilled vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini can be added for a fuller meal.
- For a vegan version, replace feta with plant-based cheese or omit it.
- Spices like chili flakes or smoked paprika can be added for extra flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
