Transfer steaks to a cutting board and drizzle with lime juice. Let steaks stand, uncovered, 5 to 10 minutes and with a sharp knife cut diagonally across grain into thin slices.
Serve steak with accompaniments.

Tips:

When choosing a skirt steak, look for one that is about 1 inch thick and has a good amount of marbling.
Be sure to marinate the skirt steak for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours.
If you don't have a grill, you can cook the skirt steak in a grill pan over medium-high heat.
Cook the skirt steak for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare.
Let the skirt steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain.
