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.

GRILLED SKIRT STEAK WITH ONION-CILANTRO RELISH



Grilled Skirt Steak With Onion-Cilantro Relish image

Spicy marinades are well suited to hearty cuts of meat like skirt steaks. Take care not to marinate the steak too long, though, or the meat will be tough and stringy. The marinade is excellent with pork, lamb or chicken, too. Serve with fresh tortillas and refried beans

GRILLED SKIRT STEAK WITH STICKY BARBECUE ONIONS



Grilled Skirt Steak with Sticky Barbecue Onions image

Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 yellow onions, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 ounces ketchup
2 ounces apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
2 pounds skirt steak, cleaned
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the cutting board
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon sweet paprika

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
  • For the sticky barbecue onions: Heat a cast-iron skillet over direct heat. Melt the butter. Add the onions with a pinch of salt and cook until they begin to caramelize, about 5 minutes. Whisk together the ketchup, vinegar, mustard, sugar, cayenne, cumin and paprika in a small bowl (see Cook's Note). Add the sauce to the onions. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until the liquid reduces and begins to get sticky, 8 to 10 minutes. Move over indirect heat to keep warm while you cook your steak.
  • For the steak: Sprinkle the steak with salt and pepper on both sides and bring to room temperature. Drizzle the steak with the oil and sprinkle with the oregano and paprika on both sides. Place the steak over direct heat and cook until it gets a nice char, 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
  • Add a splash of oil, a pinch of salt and some pepper to a cutting board. Place the steak on the seasoned oil on the cutting board, flip and rest 5 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain and serve topped with the onions.
  • (Alternatively, you can cook the onions over medium-high heat on a stovetop, and the steak in a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over high heat on a stovetop.)

GRILLED SKIRT STEAK WITH AVOCADO-TOMATO SALSA



Grilled Skirt Steak With Avocado-Tomato Salsa image

Living in California, we often see skirt steak available. I found this recipe to be fairly authentic to how they grill it out here. You can use lemon juice, but definitely use the lime juice if you can. The onion is wonderful with this but tends to fall though the grill grates, so have an extra sweet onion sliced thick to grill as well. Allow 2 to 4 hours to marinade. (Time for marinading is included in the cooking time)

Categories     Steak

Time 2h40m

1 tablespoon red onion
2 tablespoons cilantro

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
