- Add the pepper mix to the grill pan and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add the marinated steak to the uncovered side of the grill. Use tongs to toss the peppers. Close the grill.
- Let the steak cook for about 4 minutes, then use tongs to flip the steak, toss the peppers again, and remove from the grill if they are charred.
- Cook the steak another 3-4 minutes or until it reaches the desired doneness. (For skirt steak, medium rare to medium is best, which is an internal temperature of 140-145 degrees.)
