Best 3 Grilled Bourbon Skirt Steak Recipes

HONEY BOURBON STEAK

Steps:

• Combine the first 7 ingredients in a resealable plastic food storage bag. Place steaks in bag, remove as much air as possible ad seal it. Flip steak over a few times to coat with marinade.
• Place bag in refrigerator for at least two hours and up to eight hours, flip the bag every few hours if possible.
• Heat grill to medium high heat. Remove steak from marinade and blog off the excess moisture with paper towel.
• Place steak on hot grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on first side Turn steaks over and continue to grill 3-5 minutes for medium rare (internal temperature 135 degrees F), 5 to 7 minutes for medium (140 degrees F) or 8-10 minutes for medium-well (150 degrees F).
• Transfer steak to cutting board and allow to rest for 5 minutes so that juices are redistributed throughout the meat.
• Thinly slice, going against the grain at about a 35-45 degree angle.

BOURBON GRILLED FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• Put the steak in a resealable plastic bag along with the garlic, 2 tablespoons bourbon, the brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Rub the marinade into the steak and refrigerate, 6 to 12 hours.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. Remove the steak from the marinade; pour the marinade into a small saucepan, discarding the garlic. Add 2 tablespoons water and the remaining 2 tablespoons bourbon. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until slightly reduced, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, prick the sweet potatoes with a fork and microwave until soft, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Season the steak with salt and pepper. Toss the broccolini with the melted butter and season with salt and pepper. Grill the steak, turning once, 10 to 12 minutes for medium rare, and the sweet potatoes, turning, until charred, 15 to 18 minutes. Once the steak is done, grill the broccolini, turning, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Thinly slice the steak and divide among plates; spoon the reduced marinade on top. Serve with the broccolini and sweet potatoes; top the sweet potatoes with butter.

CHURRASCO (GRILLED MARINATED SKIRT STEAK)

Steps:

• Pat the steaks dry and place in a large zip-top bag.
• Combine the garlic, oregano, vinegar, olive oil, adobo seasoning and salt in the bowl of a pilón or mortar and pestle, or a small food processor. Grind into a thin paste, then pour the marinade over the steak. Zip the bag then shake well to coat the meat, rubbing in gently as needed. Let rest on the counter for 10 to 20 minutes, or refrigerate overnight if you have time. Be sure to let the steak come to room temperature before grilling.
• If using a charcoal grill, start by building a fire with hardwood and kindling, then adding lump hardwood charcoal once the fire is kicking. Allow the fire to mellow. If using a gas grill, set the temperature to 500 degrees.
• Meanwhile, make the wasakaka: Combine the lime juice, parsley, cilantro, oregano, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl and whisk to incorporate. If you'd like a creamier sauce, blend in a small food processor or blender. (Wasakaka will keep for 3 or 4 days in a sealed jar in the refrigerator.)
• Once the grill is ready, remove skirt steak from the bag and shake off excess marinade. Place on the grill and sear for 1 to 3 minutes. Using tongs, pull up the corner to ensure the steak has a good dark char, bordering on burned in places, before flipping, then cook for 1 more minute for rare, 2 minutes for medium-rare. Be careful not to overcook or steak will be tough.
• Remove steak from grill and let rest for 5 to 7 minutes. Slice into strips and pour over wasakaka, or serve sauce on the side. Taste and sprinkle with additional salt, if desired.
