Start by making the marinade for the skirt steak.

Juice half of a lime to get about 1.5 tablespoons of lime juice, then juice the other half for a total of 3 tablespoons.

Grate garlic using a microplane grater and add to the marinade.

Grind black pepper and cumin using a mortar and pestle until fine, then add to the marinade along with half a teaspoon of salt.

Add a couple of tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce to the marinade.

Eyeball and add olive oil to the marinade, then mix everything together.

Place the skirt steak in the marinade and ensure it's well coated, flipping it over with tongs.

Let the steak marinate for about 1 hour, but not longer to maintain the red color of the meat.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it's hot enough for good grill marks.

Spray the grill grates with oil before placing the skirt steak on the grill.

Grill the skirt steak for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium doneness, checking for grill marks before flipping.

Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest before slicing.
