You MUST try this marinade for steaks:

Spenjamins

We went to our BIL/SIL's house last weekend for dinner and they BBQ'd skirt streaks they had marinated  - it was amazing. I seriously could eat it every day and I am not a huge meat eater. I should add that they are master BBQ-ers which might have helped.

Adapted from Alton Brown's recipe.

1/2 cup olive oil

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup dark brown sugar

2 or 3 cloves garlic

1 bunch (4-5) scallions

1/4 cup lime juice

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

 

Throw all that crap into the food processor and hit GO until you have a smooth mixture. Empty into a large ziplock. Add skirt steaks. Refrigerate. Wait patiently for a few hours. Take them out of the fridge and let them warm up a bit before grilling on an absurdly hot grill. Lot of sugars in this marinade, so be careful you don't cross from "caramelized" to "burnt".

Yes, my Everday Food cookbook has a similar marinade for flank steak.  We love it, it is a great way to jazz up a cheap cut of meat.
