Pacific Island Skirt Steaks - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Marinade
1 small yellow onion, roughly chopped
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
Steaks
2 (1 lb) skirt steaks, 1/2 inch thick
vegetable oil
fresh ground black pepper

Preparation

Make the marinade: in a bowl, whisk all the marinade ingredients together.
Cut each skirt steak into 8-10 inch pieces.
Place the steaks in a large zip-lock plastic bag and pour in marinade.
Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly; refrigerate for 1 hour, turning occasionally.
Remove steaks from the bag and discard the marinade.
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels; let steaks stand at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
Lightly brush or spray both sides of the steaks with oil and season with pepper to taste.
Grill over Direct High heat until cooked to desired doneness, 4-6 minutes for medium-rare, turning once.
Remove from grill and let rest 2-3 minutes; slice thinly; serve warm.
