Skirt Steak with Soy, Garlic, Ginger, and Green Onions
Sweet, savory, and full of umami, I like to marinate this and prep the salad and dressing a day ahead. Then dinner comes together in a flash!

Ingredients
Steak
- 2 tablespoons monk fruit golden or 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free soy sauce omit if using coconut aminos and add 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger fresh grated
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- pinch of cayenne pepper optional, omit for nightshade-free
- 1 pound skirt steak
- 1 teaspoon avocado oil
- 1 green onion sliced thin, for garnish
Optional Salad
- 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon monk fruit powdered, or liquid stevia, to taste, omit if using coconut aminos
- 2 cups coleslaw mix
- 1/2 fennel bulb cut as thin as possible (I like to use a mandolin or vegetable peeler)
- 1 bell pepper cut into matchsticks
- 1/4 cup cilantro leaves
Instructions
- Combine all steak ingredients in a bowl except oil and green onions and let sit for 30 minutes at room temperature (or refrigerate overnight).
- While steak marinates, combine the sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy, and sweetener. Set aside. Similarly, combine all the remaining salad vegetables in a large bowl and set aside.
- Heat a large cast iron pan over medium-medium high. When hot, add a bit of avocado oil and when the oil is hot, add the skirt steak, pressing to ensure good contact with the pan for the best sear. Cook fro about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain for the most tender result.
- Toss the reserved dressing and salad together to coat evenly, and serve with the steak, if desired. Garnish with green onions.
Notes
You can also broil this in the oven on a greased, foil-lined baking sheet for 5-8 minutes per side, or until cooked to your liking. Make sure to rest the steak for 10 minutes before slicing.
