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.

Categories     < 15 Mins

Time 13m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 small bunch fresh rosemary
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
olive oil
skirt steak (one steak weighing 1 1/2 - 2 lbs)
1 large garlic clove
2 tablespoons creme fraiche or 2 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon grated horseradish (fresh or store bought)
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon
extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Put a grill pan on a high heat and let it get screaming hot.
  • Pick the rosemary leaves off the woody stalks and finely chop. Mix with a good pinch of salt and pepper and scatter over your clean board.
  • Drizzle olive oil over both sides of the steaks and roll them in the rosemary and seasoning.
  • Put the creme fraiche (or sour cream) and horseradish into a small bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Halve your lemon and add a squeeze of juice to the bowl.
  • Add a splash of extra virgin olive oil and mix well.
  • Taste and add a little more horseradish if you think it needs to taste more fiery.
  • Lay the steak in your hot pan and press down gently.
  • Wait a minute, then turn over.
  • Cut the tip off the garlic clove and discard. Rub the hot, charred side of the meat with the garlic.
  • Flip the steak again after another minute, repeat the garlic rub, and press down again.
  • For medium-rare meat, cook for around 4 to 5 minutes on each side. For well-done meat, cook for a few minutes more.
  • Remove the steaks from the grill to a plate to rest for a few minutes. Drizzle with a little olive oil to keep them from drying out.
  • Place your steaks on plates and spoon a good dollop of the horseradish sauce on top or next to them.
  • Drizzle some of the lovely resting juices on top, and a little extra virgin olive oil.
  • Alternatively you can slice the steaks in half at an angle and serve them on a bed of something light and fresh, like your favorite pick and mix salad, with the horseradish sauce.
