- 1 pound skirt steak, cut into pieces
- 1/4 cup fresh Key lime juice
- 3 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 large shallot, thinly sliced
- 1 fresh serrano chile, chopped (about 2 teaspoons; including seeds)
- Accompaniment: steamed rice
- Preheat broiler.
- Pat steak dry and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Broil on a broiler pan 4 to 6 inches from heat, turning once, about 6 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
- While steak rests, stir together remaining ingredients until sugar has dissolved. Serve sliced steak with sauce.
