Categories main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 yellow onions, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 ounces ketchup
2 ounces apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
2 pounds skirt steak, cleaned
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the cutting board
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon sweet paprika

Steps:

Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
For the sticky barbecue onions: Heat a cast-iron skillet over direct heat. Melt the butter. Add the onions with a pinch of salt and cook until they begin to caramelize, about 5 minutes. Whisk together the ketchup, vinegar, mustard, sugar, cayenne, cumin and paprika in a small bowl (see Cook's Note). Add the sauce to the onions. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until the liquid reduces and begins to get sticky, 8 to 10 minutes. Move over indirect heat to keep warm while you cook your steak.
For the steak: Sprinkle the steak with salt and pepper on both sides and bring to room temperature. Drizzle the steak with the oil and sprinkle with the oregano and paprika on both sides. Place the steak over direct heat and cook until it gets a nice char, 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
Add a splash of oil, a pinch of salt and some pepper to a cutting board. Place the steak on the seasoned oil on the cutting board, flip and rest 5 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain and serve topped with the onions.
(Alternatively, you can cook the onions over medium-high heat on a stovetop, and the steak in a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over high heat on a stovetop.)

GRILLED SKIRT STEAK WITH GARLIC AND HERBS

Grilled Skirt Steak With Garlic and Herbs image

Grilling might just be the best way to cook up a skirt steak. The intense heat gives the succulent and flavorful cut a rich char that's smoky and crisp at the edges. The trick is to get the fire hot enough and dry off any marinade before placing the meat on the grill. This will give you the deepest sear. Here, the meat is marinated in a garlicky herb paste flecked with pickled pepperoncini chiles. Other pickled peppers will work, too, so feel free to substitute pickled jalapeños if that's what you've got. Or use a fresh jalapeño and a dash of pickle juice to get a similar hot and vinegary punch. Lastly, be sure not to overcook the meat. Rare to medium rare guarantees tender beef.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 cup basil leaves, more for garnish
3 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced, more for garnish
2 tablespoons lemon thyme leaves, more for garnish
2 fat garlic cloves, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped peperoncini (1 to 2 peppers), pickled jalapeño or other pickled peppers
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
Juice of half a lemon
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 1/2 pounds skirt steak

Steps:

In a blender or food processor, combine basil, scallions, lemon thyme, garlic, peperoncini, salt and lemon zest and juice. Pour olive oil over mixture; blend until it turns to paste.
Using paper towels, pat steak dry and place in a large bowl; slather paste mixture all over meat. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or overnight.
Light the grill or heat the broiler with the rack as close to the heat source as possible. Use a paper towel to pat steak dry. (You can leave some of the paste, but for the best sear, the meat should be dry when it hits the grill.) Grill meat over direct heat until char lines appear, and meat is done to taste, 3 to 5 minutes per side, or broil until charred, 2 to 5 minutes per side. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain and serving, garnished with herbs and scallions.

Categories Skirt Steak

Time 8h45m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

4 pounds trimmed skirt steaks
2 cups olive oil
1 cup red wine
2 tablespoons dried parsley
2 tablespoons dried basil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
6 cloves garlic, crushed
2 bay leaves
2 cups barbeque sauce (such as Sweet Baby Ray's®)

Steps:

Make diagonal cuts through the skirt steak on both sides. Cut diagonally about every 1/4 to 1/2 inch, then cut diagonally in the opposite, perpendicular direction. Repeat on the other side of the steak to complete the crisscross cuts that will tenderize the meat. When the meat is prepared, some sections will be very long. I cut the longer sections to keep them under 18 inches long.
Whisk together the olive oil, red wine, parsley, basil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and bay leaves in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add the skirt steaks and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate. Remove the skirt steaks from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
Cook the skirt steak on the preheated grill to your desired degree of doneness, about 10 minutes per side for medium-well. Once nearly finished, brush the steaks with the barbeque sauce and cook for 2 minutes. Flip the steaks over, brush with barbeque sauce, and cook 2 minutes longer.

Tips:

To ensure that your skirt steak is flavorful and tender, choose a high-quality cut of meat. Look for one that is bright red in color and has a good amount of marbling.
Before cooking the skirt steak, marinate it for at least 30 minutes to help tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple one made with olive oil, garlic, and herbs is always a good choice.
When grilling the skirt steak, cook it over high heat for a short period of time. This will help to sear the meat and prevent it from becoming tough.
Let the skirt steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it. This will help to keep the juices in the meat and make it more tender.
Serve the skirt steak with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Bubba's Barbecued Skirt Steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The marinade helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor, while the grilling process creates a beautiful sear. Served with your favorite sides, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
