Directions
-
In a small bowl or 2-cup measure, blend the dry mustard, ground cumin, crumbled bay leaf, and minced garlic until combined.
-
Add the boiling beef broth to the spice mixture and blend well, mashing any lumps of mustard against the sides of the bowl to create a smooth paste.
-
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, cider vinegar, vegetable oil, and hot pepper sauce until fully incorporated.
-
Cover the bowl and let the marinade cool to room temperature.
-
Place the skirt steaks in a plastic bag or shallow dish, add the cooled marinade, turn to coat evenly, and marinate for 2 to 3 hours at room temperature, turning occasionally.
-
Remove the steaks from the marinade and discard any remaining liquid.
-
Grill the steaks 4 to 5 inches above hot coals or on a high-heat gas grill until well browned, about 6 to 8 minutes per side.
-
Brush the steaks with a little remaining marinade if desired (ensure it has been boiled first for safety if using) and serve immediately.
