Skirt steak is a delicious cut of meat. It is juicy and tender and takes well to either a dry rub or a marinade. I decided on a marinade this time and cooked it over a hot grill. It was delicious but I had some left over. Left over steak usually becomes lunch the next day, and so it was with this. Sliced thinly, on top of Romaine lettuce and dotted with sweet ripe tomatoes, I dressed the salad with a lemon vinaigrette before serving.
