Skirt steak is a flavorful and versatile cut of beef that can be cooked in a variety of ways. One popular method is to cook it with peppers, which adds a delicious and colorful addition to the dish. Grilling or pan-searing are common cooking techniques for skirt steak, resulting in a smoky or slightly charred exterior and a tender, juicy interior. The peppers, often bell peppers or onions, are typically sliced and cooked alongside the steak, absorbing its flavors and adding a slightly sweet and smoky taste.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers     Finger Food Recipes

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling and brushing
1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and quartered
1 Scotch bonnet or habanero chile, halved (seeds removed, if less heat is desired)
1/4 sweet onion, such as Vidalia, cut into 1-inch pieces (1/2 cup)
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted
1 tablespoon packed fresh oregano leaves, plus more for serving

Steamed rice and diced avocado, for serving

Steps:

  • In a blender, puree oil, bell pepper, chile, onion, orange and lemon juices, cumin seeds, oregano, and 1 teaspoon salt until smooth. (Sauce can be made up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated; remove 30 minutes before serving.) Transfer to a serving bowl; just before serving, stir and top with more oregano leaves and a drizzle of oil.

Insert a long metal skewer through all 3 pieces, about 1/2 inch from one short end. Insert a second skewer through all 3 pieces, 1/2 inch from other short end. To ensure even cooking, spread pieces 1/2 inch apart on skewers. Repeat with remaining 3 pieces steak. Pat meat dry and generously season both sides with salt; let stand 10 minutes.

CHURRASCO (GRILLED MARINATED SKIRT STEAK)



Churrasco (Grilled Marinated Skirt Steak) image

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.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 pounds skirt steak or tri-tip (see Tip)
3 large garlic cloves
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon white vinegar
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon adobo seasoning (preferably Loísa or Badía brands)
2 teaspoons kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal), plus more to taste
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh oregano leaves, finely chopped
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

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.
