Steps:
- Preheat a large cast-iron grill pan over high heat for 2 minutes. Cut the skirt steak into 4 even pieces, rub with half of the oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Cook, turning once, until charred on both sides and at the desired doneness, 6 to 10 minutes for medium-rare (depending on thickness).
- Meanwhile, whisk together the pesto, butter and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl.
- Trim the ends of the asparagus. Toss the asparagus with the remaining oil and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board to rest for a few minutes. Working in batches if necessary, place the asparagus in a single layer on the grill pan and cook, turning once, until charred in spots and crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.
- Divide the steaks and asparagus among 4 plates; top each steak with a dollop of the pesto butter. Serve immediately.

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 SANDWICH W/AVOCADO & BLUE CHEESE SPREAD
Recipe created by chefs Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feninger (The Too Hot Tamales) for the California Avocado Commission.We found these sandwiches very exciting and delicious! Since we use the grill year-round, we don't have to wait until summer. This would be a great weekend brunch or a nice evening meal - serve with a salad of sliced tomatoes with onions, maybe some type of starch and some nice cold beer or wine - depends on the occasion. :)
