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.

Steps:
- Heat grill to medium.

- Add the vinegar, oil, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoons of the salt and pulse to combine; set aside.
- Season the steak with remaining salt and pepper and grill to desired doness, about 4 minutes per side for medium rare.
- Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
- Meanwhile, as the steak cooks, toss the potatoes in a large bowl with 1/3 of the herb sauce.
- Place them on the grill in a single layer.
- Cook turning once until tender, about 4 minutes per side.
- Divide the steak and potatoes among 4 plates and serve with the remaining sauce on the side.
Tips:
- Choose the right skirt steak: Look for skirt steaks that are about 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that the steak is tender and flavorful.
- Marinate the steak: Marinating the skirt steak in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple combination of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices is always a good choice.
- Cook the steak over high heat: Skirt steak is best cooked over high heat so that it can develop a nice crust on the outside while remaining tender and juicy on the inside. You can grill, pan-fry, or broil the steak, but make sure to cook it quickly so that it doesn't overcook.
- Let the steak rest before slicing: Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- Serve the steak with your favorite sides: Grilled skirt steak can be served with a variety of sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a simple salad. You can also top the steak with your favorite sauce, such as chimichurri, salsa, or horseradish sauce.
Conclusion:
Grilled skirt steak is a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. By following these tips, you can ensure that your grilled skirt steak is tender, juicy, and flavorful. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give grilled skirt steak a try!
