Steps:

• Preheat your grill to medium high heat and your oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the skirt steak from the fridge 30 minutes prior to cooking.

• To a medium bowl, add the garlic, shallot, anchovy, capers, red chili flakes, chile, lemon zest (saved juice for later), mint and parsley.

Let rest prior to slicing.

Toss in the parsley and mint leaves. Taste and season, if needed.
