Citrus-Rubbed Skirt Steak

Flavorful skirt steak is a favorite cut in Mexican cuisine. Because of its oblong shape, it may be difficult to fit the entire steak in your grill pan. If so, simply cut it in half across the grain and cook both halves at the same time. You can always substitute flank steak, if you prefer. Total time: 36 minutes.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 3 ounces steak)

Ingredients

• 2  teaspoons  grated lemon rind
• 2  teaspoons  grated orange rind
• 1/4  teaspoon  kosher salt
• 1/8  teaspoon  ground red pepper
• 1  garlic clove, minced
• 1  (1-pound) skirt steak, trimmed
• Cooking spray

Preparation

Combine first 5 ingredients in a bowl, stirring well. Lightly coat steak with cooking spray. Rub rind mixture evenly over steak. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add steak to pan; cook 5 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Let stand for 5 minutes; cut steak diagonally across grain into thin slices.
