This grilled skirt steak is so incredibly easy and VERY flavorful and no joke is ready in a snap! Its a perfect weeknight Summer meal that you are going to love!

Hope you guys had a wonderful weekend, if you follow me on Instagram you saw that we were partying it up all weekend, and now I am back in the saddle on clean living! I went to Soul Cycle for the first time on Thursday, and now here I am three sessions in and totally loving spin! I am not very good at it, but it is always fun to find new forms of exercise that I actually like- in fact it feels like a bit of a miracle.

As far as clean eating, I still in that super grateful for seasonal produce and flavors mode right now and am very into what I find at the farmers market and the fresh herbs in my garden.

Grilling, salads and fresh bold flavors are still what’s on our table right now and I have to share a recent delicious dinner with you. Super tender marinated grilled skirt steak and a fresh cabbage cilantro slaw make for an extra flavorful and healthy dinner that the whole family will love!
