Combine vinegar and olive oil, oregano, and pepper. Place skirt steaks in a deep bowl and pour in the vinegar marinade; mix well. Let stand at room temperature for at least an hour; turn meat occasionally. Lift steaks from marinade and place 4 or 5 inches above a solid bed of medium-glowing coals. Grill for 4 or 5 minutes on a side for rare meat; cut in serving pieces and accompany with salsa fresca.
