Is it bad to marinate steak overnight?
Chef's answer
But with tougher cuts of meat like skirt steak, a marinade can make a big difference. Flavorwise, you don't usually need an overnight marinade, though it certainly won't hurt. The truth is, the marinade isn't really absorbing into the meat past the top layer, so even an hour is usually enough to get some nice flavor.
