Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
• freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons yellow miso paste
• 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 1 (1 1/2-pound) skirt steak, cut into 4 pieces
• 0.125 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine vinegar, miso paste, garlic, brown sugar, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl until smooth. Generously spread miso mixture on both sides of steak pieces; season with black pepper. Rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Step 2

Prepare a charcoal grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 3

Place steak pieces on the preheated grill at a 45-degree angle; grill, without moving, 2 minutes. Turn steak pieces 90 degrees to create cross-hatch grill marks; cook 2 minutes more. Flip steak pieces; repeat placement and grilling until medium-rare to medium on the inside, and shiny on the outside, about 4 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers should read 135 degrees F (57 degrees C). Rest before slicing, 5 minutes.
