Simple salt and pepper and get a cast iron or piping hot pan I’d you don’t have CI and 3-4 minutes on each side. Keep it simple and cook it really hot and really fast. My 2 cents.

I love skirt steak. Not a big fan of flank steak. I do marinate skirt steak with an acidic marinade. I've learned to keep it in the marinade only a short time. Longer can make it mushy, and eventually tough, not tender. The sweet spot seems to be about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. I've used this with petite sirloins and skirt steaks. Have not used it with flank.

Cilantro Lime Steak

I used my old recipe and got some ideas online to come up with this recipe. Flavor was awesome!

INGREDIENTS
2-3 pounds petite sirloin or skirt steak
1 cup fresh cilantro
1 small onion quartered
4 garlic cloves minced
½ cup olive oil
½ cup orange juice
⅓ cup soy sauce
¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tsp Adolph's meat tenderizer (this can be omitted if needing to tenderize longer than two hours).

INSTRUCTIONS
Use Jaccard to tenderize meat. Do not over use device. If no jaccard is available, poke with a knife across the grain.
Place all marinade ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
Place steaks in a plastic Ziplock bag and add the marinade. Seal the bag, removing all the air. Then squeeze and turn the bag to mix the ingredients and coat the steaks. Marinate anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, no longer or meat will get mushy if using Adolph's.
Take meat out of bag and pat dry with paper towels, but do not rinse. Discard marinade.
Cook over direct high heat or flame for 2 to 5 minutes per side to doneness desired.
Rest for 10 to 30 minutes under a cover before serving.

Slice thinly across grain to serve.
