Ingredients

skirt steak1.5 pounds

olive oil1 tablespoon

kosher salt1 teaspoon

black pepper0.5 teaspoon

garlic powder0.5 teaspoon

onion powder0.3 teaspoon

unsalted butter (optional, for finishing)1 tablespoon

Instructions

Remove skirt steak from the fridge 20–30 minutes before cooking to come to room temperature. Pat dry with paper towels.

In a small bowl, mix kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Season both sides of the steak, pressing gently to adhere.

Heat a heavy-bottomed or cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking hot (3–5 minutes). Add olive oil and swirl to coat.

Place the seasoned skirt steak in the skillet. Sear for 2–4 minutes per side for medium-rare (4–5 minutes per side for medium). In the last minute, add unsalted butter and baste the steak.

Transfer steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5–10 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain and serve.
