Method
- Marinate the Steak- In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, garlic, Dijon mustard, oregano, kosher salt, and black pepper.
- Place the skirt steak in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour half of the marinade over it. Turn to coat thoroughly. Cover and marinate for 30–45 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the fridge. Let the steak sit out and come to room temperature before grilling.
- While the steak is marinating, cook the couscous according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain well in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Pat the couscous dry with a paper towel for a better salad texture
- Toss the couscous with the remaining marinade in a large bowl. Add the chopped cucumber, scallions, dill, parsley, and crumbled feta. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Preheat your grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat.
- Grill the marinated skirt steak for about 3–4 minutes per side or until it reaches your desired doneness (medium-rare is recommended for Sirlion steak).
- Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes. This helps retain the juices for maximum flavor.
- Slice the steak thinly against the grain, which helps keep it tender.
- To serve, plate the lemon herb couscous salad alongside the sliced steak. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for extra brightness and a dollop of tzaziki or full-fat cottage or creamed cheese.
