I cook skirt steak all the time using this Alton Brown method and it works incredibly well. Plus you get to cook on pure charcoal.

Just make sure you cook it from room temperature, use a little bit of good high temperature oil to help conduct heat and have a heat source that is blazing hot.

Oh and make sure the meat rests before you eat it.

PS: I've been street luging hills in and around Toronto recently, for anyone who loves to go fast you don't get to have much more fun.
