Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, plus more for serving
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 1/2 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 lbs skirt steak

  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta (or non-dairy alternative)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, honey, garlic, mustard, oregano, salt, and pepper. Pour half over the skirt steak in a shallow dish and let it marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the fridge.
  2. Prepare Couscous Salad: Cook Israeli couscous according to package instructions. Rinse under cold water and toss with remaining marinade, cucumber, scallions, dill, parsley, and feta. Season with salt and pepper before refrigerating.
  3. Grill the Steak: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (450°-500°F). Grill steak for 3-4 minutes per side until desired doneness (aim for medium-rare). Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
