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.

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

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.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Number Of Ingredients 16

Juice of 6 limes
3 jalapeno chiles, seeded and minced
6 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
3 pounds skirt steak, trimmed of excess fat and cut into 6 serving pieces
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup fresh corn kernels (about 2 ears, or high quality canned or frozen)
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup prepared cactus paddles or nopales, prickly pear cactus, rinsed and diced fine
6 tomatillos, husked, washed and finely diced
1 to Serrano chiles, stemmed, seeded and sliced
1 bunch cilantro, leaves only, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
4 scallions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • About 30 minutes before cooking, remove the meat from the refrigerator. Unroll the steaks and sprinkle with salt.

  • Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Saute the corn with the salt and pepper, about 5 minutes. Add nopales, tomatillos, and peppers and saute briefly to combine and warm slightly. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and set aside to cool.
  • Add cilantro, vinegar and scallions and stir well to combine. Let sit 20 to 30 minutes to blend the flavors.
  • Serve at room temperature. Relish can be stored, tightly covered, in the refrigerator up to 2 days.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat: Skirt steak is a thin, flavorful cut of beef that is perfect for grilling. Look for a skirt steak that is about 1 inch thick and has a good amount of marbling.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple one made with olive oil, garlic, and herbs is a good option.
  • Grill the steak over high heat: Skirt steak should be grilled over high heat to get a nice char on the outside and keep the inside tender. Grill the steak for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until it is cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing: After grilling, let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve with a flavorful sauce or relish: Skirt steak is delicious served with a flavorful sauce or relish. A simple chimichurri sauce or a tangy cactus relish are both great options.

Conclusion:

Grilled skirt steak is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. By following these tips, you can grill a perfect skirt steak every time. Serve it with your favorite sauce or relish, and enjoy!
