- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tbsp oregano

In a small bowl whisk together marinate ingredients. Add marinate to skirt steak, toss to coat evenly. Cover with foil and marinate for 2 hours or up to 8 hours. Note: remove marinated skirt steak from fridge 30 minutes before cooking.
In a large bowl combine sweet peppers, onion slices, oil, salt, pepper and oregano. Also add in whole head of garlic, mostly peeled but not completely peeled and sliced about 1/4 of the way down. Toss everything to coat evenly.
Preheat the skillet, griddle or grill whichever method you decide to cook the steak until it is very hot (about 450F degrees).
When the griddle is hot add in pepper mix and toss occasionally until charred and softened (about 10-12 minutes). Transfer veggies to a bowl, garnish with cilantro, cover and set aside.
Remove steak from marinate and discard marinate. Place skirt steak on the hot griddle and cook for about 5-7 minutes, then flip to the other side and cook for another 5-7 minutes. Transfer skirt steak to a cutting board and allow it to rest for 10 minutes.
Slice the skirt steak against the grain. Add a tiny pinch of kosher salt, give it a fresh squeeze of lime and garnish with cilantro before serving.
