CHURRASCO SKIRT STEAK CUBAN-STYLE WITH MARINADE RECIPE RECIPE - (5/5)



Churrasco Skirt Steak Cuban-Style with Marinade Recipe Recipe - (5/5) image

Provided by kbartell

Number Of Ingredients 19

Beef skirt steak cut in long steaks (about 3/4 pound per person or more)
Cuban Churrasco (Mojo) Marinade
3 heads garlic -- about 30 to 40 cloves
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 and 1/2 cups sour orange juice
(If you can't get sour orange juice in your area, use two parts orange to one part lemon and one part lime)
1 cup minced onion
2 teaspoons oregano
1 cup Spanish olive oil
Cuban Chimichurri Sauce
1 large bunch of cilantro leaves
8 cloves garlic
1/4 cup vinegar
Juice of one lime
2/3 cup olive oil
1/2 cup onion
Dash or two of red pepper flakes
Salt and Pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Mojo Marinade To make the marinade: Mash garlic, salt, and peppercorns into a paste, using a mortar and pestle. Stir in sour orange juice, onion, and oregano. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes or longer. Whisk the garlic-orange juice mixture with the olive oil until well blended. Preparing the Meat Preparing the meat is very easy. Place the meat in a large bowl or pan. Add enough mojo marinade to cover the meat. Place a cover over the bowl or pan and place in the refrigerator a minimum of five hours, but preferably overnight. Chimichurri Sauce While your meat is marinating, make the sauce. We like to make it the easy way. Put everything except the olive oil in a blender and using the "chop" setting, click on and off until you have a thick mixture. Do not over process! This is the kind of dish you need to taste and adjust so that you get just the right flavor! So taste it! (The best way to taste it is with a piece of bread.) Whisk in the olive oil. (If you use the blender to incorporate the oil, the oil and liquids will emulsify, giving your chimichurri a white, paste-like texture.) Add salt, pepper, more vinegar and lime juice as needed. The flavor should be very intense with garlic and cilantro. Don't be stingy with the salt either! Grilling the Meat Grill the marinated steaks outdoors on the barbecue. (Make sure your coals are hot and white!) You can cook them however you like your steak -- from rare to well done. However, the rarer the meat, the more tender and flavorful! Serve the meat with the chimichurri sauce -- it tastes great!

Tips:

  • Use flank steak or skirt steak: These cuts are thin and flavorful, and they cook quickly.
  • Marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight: This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Don't overcook the steak: Cook it over high heat for a few minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Cuban-style marinated steaks are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. The marinade is simple to prepare, and the steak cooks quickly. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. Whether you're a seasoned chef or a beginner, this recipe is sure to please. So fire up your grill and get ready to enjoy some delicious Cuban-style marinated steaks!
