Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Time 25m

Yield 6 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

8 ounces your favorite blue cheese, such as gorgonzola or buttermilk blue (or a combination of your favorites), crumbled
5 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 shallot, minced
1 sprig fresh rosemary
Kosher salt
1/4 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch cayenne pepper
5 fresh chives, snipped, optional
Lola Chips with Rosemary, recipe follows
Canola oil, for deep frying
2 large russet potatoes, scrubbed clean
2 or 3 cloves garlic, smashed, optional
1 sprig fresh rosemary, leaves stripped
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the cheese and cornstarch. Toss to coat. Set aside.
  • In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, add the oil, garlic, shallots, and rosemary. Season with a pinch of salt and cook until the shallot and garlic soften slightly, about 1 minute. Add the wine and simmer, about 1 minute. Whisk in the cream, pepper and cayenne pepper. When the cream mixture begins to bubble, remove from the heat and strain over the blue cheese, whisking to incorporate. Remove from the heat and stir in the chives if using. Serve in a fondue pot next to a big pile of Lola Chips with Rosemary.
  • In a medium pot, pour enough oil so that the oil comes 3 inches up the sides. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 350 degrees F. (If you don't have a thermometer, a cube of bread will brown in about 3 minutes.)
  • Slice the potatoes thinly on a mandoline. As you slice them, put them in a bowl of cold water to cover.
  • Drain the potatoes and pat dry. Working in batches if necessary, cook the potatoes in the oil until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic if using, along with the potatoes. Remove the potatoes from the oil to a large paper towel-lined bowl and season them with the rosemary and salt, shaking the bowl to distribute the seasonings evenly.

Categories     main-dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 pounds skirt steak
3 tablespoons canola oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup store-bought basil pesto
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened

  • Preheat a large cast-iron grill pan over high heat for 2 minutes. Cut the skirt steak into 4 even pieces, rub with half of the oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.

  • Meanwhile, whisk together the pesto, butter and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Trim the ends of the asparagus. Toss the asparagus with the remaining oil and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board to rest for a few minutes. Working in batches if necessary, place the asparagus in a single layer on the grill pan and cook, turning once, until charred in spots and crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.
  • Divide the steaks and asparagus among 4 plates; top each steak with a dollop of the pesto butter. Serve immediately.

CHURRASCO (GRILLED MARINATED SKIRT STEAK)



Churrasco (Grilled Marinated Skirt Steak) image

Like so many of the best Puerto Rican dishes, churrasco - garlicky wood-fire-grilled steak served with chimichurri - starts by tenderizing a tougher cut of meat (skirt steak) with a flavorful marinade. Although its origins are Argentinian and Brazilian (the word churrasco encompassing grilled meats in both Spanish and Portuguese), variations on the dish are Latin American staples. This recipe kicks up a classic Puerto Rican marinade with a bit of adobo seasoning, and then served with wasakaka, an herbaceous sauce from the Dominican Republic using lime juice. The steak should be grilled over an open fire (the smoke is key), but a gas grill will do, as will a cast-iron skillet. Serve with adobo roasted potatoes, maduros, white rice or arroz mamposteao, plus fresh tomato and avocado slices.

Categories     dinner, meat, steaks and chops, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 pounds skirt steak or tri-tip (see Tip)
3 large garlic cloves
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon white vinegar
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon adobo seasoning (preferably Loísa or Badía brands)
2 teaspoons kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal), plus more to taste
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh oregano leaves, finely chopped
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat: Skirt steak is a flavorful and affordable cut of beef that is perfect for grilling. It is important to choose a skirt steak that is at least 1 inch thick so that it can withstand the heat of the grill.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the skirt steak in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize it and add flavor. The marinade in this recipe is made with pesto, olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice.
  • Grill the steak over high heat: Skirt steak should be grilled over high heat so that it can sear quickly and develop a nice crust. Cook the steak for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
  • Let the steak rest before serving: After grilling, let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • Serve with a flavorful sauce or condiment: Skirt steak can be served with a variety of sauces and condiments, such as blue cheese fondue, chimichurri sauce, or salsa verde. These sauces will help to add even more flavor and richness to the dish.

Conclusion:

Grilled pesto-marinated skirt steak with blue cheese fondue is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The skirt steak is tender and flavorful, and the blue cheese fondue is a rich and creamy complement. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
