CHILI-RUBBED SKIRT STEAK



Chili-Rubbed Skirt Steak image

We like to prepare these steaks in the broiler throughout the winter months, but you can also prepare them any time on an outdoor grill or in a grill pan.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds beef skirt steak, cut into 4 pieces
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon chili powder
Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper
2 heads romaine lettuce
1/4 cup chopped scallions

Steps:

  • Heat the broiler with the rack 4 inches from the heat. In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, coriander, sugar, oregano, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Coat the steaks evenly on both sides with the oil, then the spice mixture, patting to help the mixture adhere.
  • Place the steaks on a rimmed baking sheet or broiler pan. Broil the steaks, without turning, until medium-rare, 5 to 8 minutes, depending on the thickness. Transfer the steaks to a large platter and cover with aluminum foil; let rest for 10 minutes.
  • Remove foil and divide steaks among 4 serving plates. Drizzle with any accumulated juices from the platter.
  • In a medium bowl, place the sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and chili powder; season with salt and pepper. Whisk to combine. Remove the dark outer leaves from each head of romaine, leaving the heart; place leaves in a plastic bag lined with a paper towel and refrigerate for another use. Slice the hearts in half lengthwise. Place one half on each plate; top with the dressing. Sprinkle with the scallions and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat: Skirt steak is a flavorful and affordable cut of meat that is perfect for grilling. It is important to choose a skirt steak that is at least 1 inch thick to ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize it and add flavor. The marinade in this recipe uses a combination of chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic, and olive oil.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: Skirt steak should be cooked over high heat to quickly sear the outside and keep the inside tender. Cook the steak for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
  • Let the steak rest: After cooking the steak, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Skirt steak can be served with a variety of sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Skirt steak is a delicious and versatile cut of meat that is perfect for grilling. This Southwestern chili rubbed skirt steak recipe is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is sure to please everyone at your next cookout. With its bold flavors and tender texture, this steak is sure to be a hit. So fire up your grill and give this recipe a try!
