"Growing up in Chicago, the measure of a man was his secret recipe for preparing and grilling skirt steak. Here is my family recipe. I have brought these steaks to many throw-downs in my new home in North Carolina and it can compete with all the local favorites. Enjoy!" — bubba

4 pounds trimmed skirt steaks
2 cups olive oil
1 cup red wine
2 tablespoons dried parsley
2 tablespoons dried basil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
6 cloves garlic, crushed
2 bay leaves
2 cups barbeque sauce (such as Sweet Baby Ray's®)
I made this for my husband and myself. I used only 1+ pounds of skirt steak, so I reduced the marinade to 1/4th. The marinade was great and the barbeque sauce added a sweetness to it which was delicious. We like our steak medium to medium rare so we cooked it 5 minutes on each side. Would make again for sure.
Didn't do it for our family, meat was very tough!

Great recipe Bubba! I did make a mistake, didn't read the directions and added the BBQ sauce to the marination, but I also basted the meat with BBQ sauce, it had lots of flavor. Everyone loved it!
This was ABSOLUTELY delish!!!!! I have used this marinade 2 times in the past week and it works with all kinds of beef. FANTASTIC
I enjoyed the taste of this steak. I used the marinade but didn't have any bbq sauce so I made a sauce out of Hoisin sauce and pineapple juice. I slathered that on while it was on the grill. Hubby was not too fond of the wine in here. Not the recipes fault, personal preference. Thank you Bubba for the chance to make one of my favorite cuts a beef a bit more different:)
wow. wasn't sure what to do with a skirt steak but boy do i now! the marinade really permeates the meat and compliments & brings out the barbecue flavor. i broiled it following the grilling cooking times & it was perfect. i marinated it overnight until dinner time in my vacuum marinating (foodsaver canister) - it didn't need that long with the vacuum but it didn't hurt either.will definitly make again.
We had friends over for a BBQ and this recipe was a HUGE hit! So Yummy! Will definatley be a KEEPER!!!!
This recipe worked out great! I dont really follow recipe measurement since I work in a kitchen but the flavors were delicious. and i am definitely going to make it again.
