CHURRASCO (GRILLED MARINATED SKIRT STEAK)
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.

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:
- Use a flavorful marinade: The key to a great grilled steak is a flavorful marinade. Be sure to use a marinade that contains acids, such as vinegar or lemon juice, to help tenderize the meat. You can also add herbs, spices, and other seasonings to create a unique flavor profile.
- Marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes: The longer you marinate the steak, the more flavor it will absorb. However, don't marinate the steak for more than 24 hours, as this can make the meat tough.
- Bring the steak to room temperature before grilling: This will help the steak cook evenly. Remove the steak from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before you plan to grill it.
- Preheat your grill to the proper temperature: The best temperature for grilling steak is between 450°F and 500°F. This will help sear the steak and create a nice crust.
- Grill the steak over direct heat: This will help sear the steak and create a nice crust. Cook the steak for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it reaches the desired doneness.
- Let the steak rest before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful. Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Conclusion:
Grilling a perfect steak is an art form, but it's not as difficult as you might think. By following these tips, you can create a delicious and juicy steak that will impress your friends and family. So fire up your grill and get grilling!
