Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pints grape tomatoes
6 scallions, white and green parts separated and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan
1 1/2 pounds skirt steak (cut into 2 or more pieces, if necessary, to fit in skillet)
1 cup balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large saucepan, set 4 cups water to boil. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss tomatoes with scallion whites and 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Roast until tomatoes are tender and some skins have split, 12 to 15 minutes; toss with scallion greens.
  • Meanwhile, add 1 teaspoon salt to boiling water; gradually whisk in cornmeal. Simmer very gently over low heat, whisking occasionally, until polenta is thickened and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Whisk in butter and Parmesan, and keep warm over very low heat (whisk in some water just before serving if polenta becomes too thick).
  • Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a large skillet over high. Season steak with salt and pepper; add to skillet. Cook, turning once, 6 to 8 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest, 5 to 10 minutes (reserve skillet).
  • Add vinegar to skillet, and boil over high until reduced to 1/2 cup, 5 to 7 minutes; stir in any juices from resting steak. Slice steak, and serve with vinegar sauce, polenta, and tomatoes.

Provided by Kerena

Categories     Steak

Time 25m

Yield 4 steaks, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1 teaspoon salt, coarse
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1 1/2 lbs skirt steaks, cut crosswise into 4 equal pieces

Steps:

  • In a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, combine vinegar, sugar, garlic, rosemary, salt and pepper.
  • Pierce meat all over with fork; add to marinade, and turn to coat. Let marinate at room temperature at least 15 minutes or cover and refrigerate up to 1 day.
  • Heat grill to high, oil grates.
  • Remove steak from marinade, allowing excess to drip off.
  • Grill steaks 2-4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with foil and let rest 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of steak: Skirt steak is a thin, flavorful cut of beef that is perfect for grilling or pan-searing. Look for skirt steak that is about 1/2 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, such as a simple olive oil and garlic marinade, a balsamic vinegar and herb marinade, or a soy sauce and ginger marinade.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: Skirt steak is best cooked over high heat so that it gets a nice sear on the outside while remaining tender on the inside. If you are grilling the steak, cook it over direct heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it is cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing: 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.

Conclusion:

Balsamic skirt steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your balsamic skirt steak turns out perfectly every time.
