Skirt Steak with Cilantro Garlic Sauce

So I used to have this all the time in Arizona and since moving to Washington I've missed it a ton. Then I saw this recipe in this book that Gourmet Magazine sent me, I tried it, and it reminded me of home. It's super good and really easy too. Don't leave out the chipotle chili powder, it gives it that extra something. Try it out! - Colin

(I put extra sauce out because some people like alot of it!)
