Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs skirt steak
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 1/2 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup dry Israeli couscous
  • 1 mini cucumber, chopped
  • 4 scallions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta (or non-dairy alternative)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Coat the skirt steak in the marinade and let it sit at room temperature for 30-45 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Couscous Salad: While the steak marinates, cook the Israeli couscous according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water. Mix cooled couscous with remaining marinade, cucumber, dill, parsley, and feta (or non-dairy alternative). Chill until ready to serve.
  3. Grill the Steak: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated skirt steak for about 3-4 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
