Ingredients

4 servings

1 pound Skirt Steak
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
2 teaspoons brown sugar
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tablespoons oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

For the salsa:

1 cup pineapple (diced)
1/2 red bell pepper (seeds removed, diced)
1/4 cup red onion (diced)
1 jalapeño (seeds removed, diced {optional})
1/2 lime (juiced)
1/4 teaspoons crushed red pepper ({optional})
3 tablespoons cilantro (chopped)
Salt and pepper to taste

Method

1
In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper.
2
Add the skirt steak to the marinade and refrigerate for 20 minutes or up to 2 hours. Preheat grill to medium-high heat and brush with oil if needed.
3
Remove the steak from the marinade. Place the steak on the grill and brush the extra marinade on the steak. Discard the leftover marinade.
4
Sear the steak on each side for 3 minutes for medium-rare and 4-5 minutes for medium until the steak reaches an internal temperature of 130 degrees F {for medium rare}.
5
While the steak grills, prepare the pineapple salsa. In a medium bowl add the pineapple, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, crushed red pepper and cilantro and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste.
6
Remove the steak from the grill and tent foil over it for 5 minutes to let it rest. Once ready to serve slice the steak {against the grain} into thin strips. Serve with the pineapple salsa on its own, in tacos or rice bowls.

Notes

You can add lime juice to this marinade to help tenderize the steak even more but do not marinade longer than 20 minutes or the citrus starts to break the steak down.
