Ingredients
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 hoisin sauce
- 2 scallions, sliced thin
- 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 - 2 teaspoons chili-garlic sauce
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 (12-ounce) skirt steaks, cut crosswise into 4-inch pieces and trimmed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation
Step 1
1. Combine soy sauce, hoisin, scallions, 2 tablespoons sugar, chili-garlic sauce, and ginger in bowl. Slowly whisk in vegetable oil and sesame oil until incorporated and sugar has dissolved. Pat steaks dry with paper towels and sprinkle all over with remaining 2 teaspoons sugar, salt, and pepper.
2A. FOR A CHARCOAL GRILL: Open bottom vents fully. Light large chimney starter mounded with charcoal briquettes (7 quarts). When top coals are partially covered with ash, pour evenly over half of grill. Set cooking grate in place, cover, and open lid vent fully. Heat grill until hot, about 5 minutes.
2B. FOR A GAS GRILL: Turn all burners to high, cover, and heat grill until hot, about 15 minutes. Leave all burners on high.
3. Clean and oil cooking grate. Grill steaks (uncovered, and directly over coals if using charcoal; covered if using gas) until well browned and meat registers 125 degrees, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer steaks to 13- by 9-inch pan and poke all over with fork. Pour marinade over steaks, tent with foil, and let rest 5 minutes. Transfer meat to carving board and slice thinly against grain. Pour marinade into serving vessel. Serve, passing marinade at table.
