Gluten Free Skirt Steak

Gluten Free Spicy Brown Sugar Grilled Skirt Steak

One of my very favorite cuts of beef is skirt steak. It is a long, flat piece of meat that has incredible flavor, but unfortunately can be a little tough if not prepared correctly.

One trick for making a tougher cut of meat tender is to add some sugar. Now before you completely write off the idea, realize that sugar is a natural tenderizer. By simply making a rub with brown sugar, salt, and other seasonings, you can turn a relatively inexpensive and tougher cut of meat, such as skirt steak, into a tender and delicious steak.

My favorite rub is a combination of Wholesome! organic brown sugar and kosher salt (if you must use table salt, just use half the amount called for in the recipe, or your meat will taste too salty) for tenderness, smoked paprika for a hint of smoky flavor even if you cook your steak indoor on a grill pan, garlic powder for flavor, and cayenne pepper for a touch of heat.

This Gluten Free Spicy Brown Sugar Grilled Skirt Steak is simple, tender, and packed with flavor.
