Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the Aleppo pepper, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the Steak: Place the skirt steak in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Make the Herb-Scented Labneh: In a medium bowl, combine the labneh, chopped mint, chopped parsley, minced garlic, honey, and water. Mix until smooth and well combined. Adjust seasoning with salt if necessary. Set aside.
- Cook the Skirt Steak: Preheat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Grill the steak for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if desired.
- Rest the Steak: Once cooked to your liking, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
- Slice and Serve: Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Serve it on a platter with the herb-scented labneh on the side. Drizzle any remaining juices from the cutting board over the steak for added flavor.
- Garnish: Optionally, garnish with additional fresh herbs or lemon wedges for an extra touch.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add more Aleppo pepper to the marinade. This dish pairs well with a fresh salad or grilled vegetables.
