HOW TO GRILL SKIRT STEAK



How to Grill Skirt Steak image

Skirt steak is a flavorful cut of beef perfect for the grill, but you can get the most from it with this technique.

Provided by Molly Watson

Categories     Dinner     Entree

Time 38m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (1-pound) skirt steak
1/2 teaspoon salt
Optional: 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Optional: 1/8 teaspoon cayenne

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • While technically optional, the first step for the best-tasting grilled steak is to salt it. Put the salt in a small bowl or ramekin. If using the pepper and/or cayenne, add them to the salt and mix. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to overnight in the fridge. In any case, bring the meat to about room temperature, or at least let it sit out to take the chill off before cooking it to help ensure even cooking.
  • While the meat sits, make sure the cooking grate on your charcoal or gas grill is cleaned and well oiled, then heat the grill to high heat. You should be able to hold your hand about an inch over the grill grate for 1 second before it feels too hot. If using a charcoal grill, build the fire to one side so you'll also have a cooler area where you can move the steak(s) if it's seared and browned on the outside but not quite ready to take off the grill completely (if you're using a gas grill , you'll be able to turn off a burner if need be).
  • Set the steak(s) on the grill and cook, without moving, until that side is seared and releases from the grill of its own accord, about 3 minutes for medium-rare, 4 minutes for medium.
  • Turn and cook on the other side to the same effect, about 3 to 4 more minutes. You can use a meat thermometer to get an accurate temperature if you like. For rare, remove the steak(s) at 120 F to 125 F; medium-rare 125 F to 130 F; and medium 130 F to 135 F.
  • Remove the steak(s) from the grill, cover loosely with foil, and let sit at least 10 minutes. This resting time allows the meat to finish cooking and the juices to redistribute evenly throughout the steak. It is extremely important to achieving a properly cooked steak when everything is said and done, so despite the temptation, don't skip this step.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the steak against the grain and serve hot, warm, or at room temperature. Skirt steak is particularly flavorful, so any cold leftovers are more than usually delicious.

GRILLED BEEF SKIRT STEAK WITH ONION MARINADE



Grilled Beef Skirt Steak With Onion Marinade image

This is one of those recipes that will make you look like an incredible cook for very little effort.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

For the onion marinade:
1/2 medium yellow onion, coarsely chopped
1 small garlic clove, peeled
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoons water
For the skirt steak:
2 pounds skirt steak, silver skin trimmed away
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Smoked sea salt, for finishing
Ox's Chimichurri, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the onion marinade:
  • Combine the onion, garlic, 1/4 cup of the oil, and water in a blender; blend until smooth. Put the skirt steak in a large resealable plastic bag or baking dish and pour in the onion mixture, coating both sides. Cover or wrap the meat well so the onion scent does not permeate your refrigerator; chill for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
  • To make the skirt steak:
  • Prepare a grill to medium-high heat.
  • Remove the steak from the marinade and season both sides with the kosher salt and pepper. Transfer the meat to the grill and let cook until one side is well seared, 3 minutes. Flip and cook for 2 minutes more, for rare to medium-rare. At this point, remove the steak from the grill and let rest for 2 minutes to allow the carryover heat to give it a more even doneness. Finally, return the steak to the grill and cook for 1 minute more per side (this guarantees this thin cut of steak will be served hot). (Add another minute of cooking on the second side for medium doneness.) Remove the skirt steak from the grill and let rest 1 to 2 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Cut each steak with the grain into three sections. Turn each piece to slice against the grain at a 45-degree angle. Slice into 1/4-inch pieces on a slight bias against the grain. You should get about 5 slices per cut piece, about 15 slices total. Transfer the meat to a warmed plate. Garnish with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and smoked sea salt and serve with the chimichurri.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of steak: Skirt steak is a flavorful and affordable cut that's perfect for grilling. It's important to choose a steak that is at least 1 inch thick so that it doesn't overcook.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a mixture of olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and onion powder will help to tenderize it and add flavor.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: Skirt steak should be cooked over high heat to get a nice sear on the outside and a juicy interior. Cook the steak for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing: After cooking, let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices to redistribute and make the steak more tender.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Grilled skirt steak can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Grilled skirt steak with sticky barbecue onions is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a summer cookout. The steak is flavorful and juicy, and the onions are a sweet and tangy complement. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
