Ingredients

3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 teaspoon soy sauce

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 jalapeno chile (ribs and seeds removed for less heat, if desired), chopped

1 1/2 pounds skirt steak, cut to fit skillet

1 lime, cut into wedges, for garnish (optional)

Preparation

In blender, combine lime juice, soy sauce, garlic, and jalapeno; puree until smooth. Transfer to a shallow dish or large resealable plastic bag. Toss with steak to coat. Let stand at least 30 minutes, and no more than 2 hours, to infuse with flavor.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high, until very hot. Cook steak, in two batches if necessary, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing thinly. Serve with lime wedges, if desired.
