Allow steak to marinate for 10-20 minutes, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. • Heat grill to medium-high. When grill is hot, place churrasco steak fat-side down and grill for 3-4 minutes. • Flip skirt steak and grill for an additional 3 minutes for medium, or for 3-5 minutes for well done. • When steak is done, remove from grill and spread Chef Thia’s Spice on top.
