Step 2

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove the skirt steak from the marinade. Discard the remaining marinade. Mix the onion powder lemon pepper garlic powder and garlic salt together in a small bowl. Sprinkle the steaks with the spice mix on all sides.

Cook the steaks until they are firm hot in the center and well done about 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 155 degrees F (65 degrees C).
