01
Step 1
In a large glass or ceramic bowl, mix together the Marsala wine, ketchup, garlic, kosher salt, rosemary, and black pepper. Add the skirt steak to the bowl and turn it around so it’s fully coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge to marinate for at least 8 hours, or overnight if you have the time.

Step 2
When you’re ready to cook, heat up your grill to high and give the grates a light oiling to keep the steak from sticking. Take the steak out of the marinade, letting any extra drip off, and throw the marinade away.

Step 3
Place the steak on the grill and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. You’re looking for a nice, shiny crust and an internal temperature of 130°F for medium-rare. Once it’s done, take the steak off the grill and let it rest on a plate for at least 5 minutes so the juices can settle.

Step 4
Finally, slice the steak against the grain and enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This dish combines the rich, bold flavors of Marsala wine with the hearty texture of skirt steak. The marinade tenderizes the meat while adding a slightly sweet and savory depth. It’s a quick and impressive meal that feels special but is easy to prepare.
How to serve
Serve sliced thin against the grain to maximize tenderness. Pair it with creamy mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables to balance the rich flavors. A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette can add freshness to the plate.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to avoid drying out the meat. Avoid freezing, as it may affect the texture and flavor of the steak.
