Categories     main-dish

Time 1h27m

Yield 8 servings as fajita meat or 4 as main course

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup soy sauce
4 scallions, washed and cut in 1/2
2 large cloves garlic
1/4 cup lime juice
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar or Mexican brown sugar
2 pounds inside skirt steak, cut into 3 equal pieces
Special equipment: blow dryer

Steps:

  • Heat charcoal, preferably natural chunk, until grey ash appears. In a blender, put in oil, soy sauce, scallions, garlic, lime juice, red pepper, cumin, and sugar and puree. In a large heavy duty, zip top bag, put pieces of skirt steak and pour in marinade. Seal bag, removing as much air as possible. Allow steak to marinate for 1 hour in refrigerator.
  • Remove steak from bag and pat dry with paper towels. Using a blow dryer, blow charcoal clean of ash. Once clean of ash lay steaks directly onto hot coals for 1 minute per side. When finished cooking, place meat in double thickness of aluminum foil, wrap, and allow to sit for 15 minutes.
  • Remove meat from foil, reserving foil and juices. Slice thinly across the grain of the meat. Return to foil pouch and toss with juice. Serve with grilled peppers and onions, if desired.

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 red jalapeno, Fresno or serrano chile, finely grated
1 garlic clove, finely grated
1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
4 tablespoons coconut cream from 1 small can unsweetened full-fat coconut milk
1/4 cup fresh lime juice, plus wedges for serving
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
1 pound skirt steak, cut into two or three pieces
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 head iceberg lettuce, leaves torn into palm-size pieces
Handful of cilantro leaves and tender stems, torn
1 avocado, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine chile, garlic, ginger, coconut cream, and lime juice. Season with salt and stir to combine. Stir in coconut and taste dressing: It should be fairly tangy, spicy, and salty to balance the mild iceberg. Dressing may seize up and seem very thick, but it will loosen up when tossed with the salad.
  • Season steak on both sides with salt.
  • Place a 10- or 12-inch skillet, preferably cast-iron, over medium-high heat. Add oil and when it shimmers, place steaks carefully into pan and cook, undisturbed, until browned on underside, 2-3 minutes. Turn and cook until browned on second side and medium-rare, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer steaks to a platter and let rest 5-10 minutes before cutting against the grain into 1/4-inch slices.
  • Add lettuce and cilantro to bowl with dressing and toss to coat. Taste the lettuce and add more salt and/or lime juice if needed. Add avocado and toss gently to distribute. Serve steak and salad with lime wedges for squeezing over.

SPICY SKIRT STEAK

Categories     Marinate     Lime     Steak     Bell Pepper     Fall     Tailgating     Grill/Barbecue     Cilantro

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground coriander
2 skirt steaks, about 3 pounds total, cut in half
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 limes, cut in half
2 tablespoons hot taco sauce
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • At home
  • One hour before packing, mix together the olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cumin, and coriander. Place the steaks in a resealable freezer bag and pour in the marinade, making sure the steaks are completely coated. Refrigerate.
  • At the tailgate
  • Prepare coals for a hot fire. When the coals are ready, transfer the skirt steaks directly from the marinade to the grill and cook for 8 to 9 minutes, turning once, for medium-rare, 9 to 10 minutes for medium. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5 minutes. While the steaks are resting, transfer the sliced onion, pepper, and cilantro to a medium serving bowl. Place the limes, cut side down, on the grill until they brown slightly, about 4 minutes. Set aside. Cut the steaks into 1/2-inch strips, then add them to the bowl with the onion mixture. Season with the hot sauce and salt, then squeeze the grilled limes over everything. Toss together and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat: Look for skirt steak that is thin, well-marbled, and has a deep red color.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful mixture of spices, herbs, and liquids helps tenderize the meat and infuses it with flavor.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Let the steak rest before cutting: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
  • Serve the steak with a flavorful sauce or dressing: This will help to enhance the flavor of the steak and make it a more complete dish.

Conclusion:

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 cook a perfect skirt steak that is tender, juicy, and flavorful. Whether you are grilling, pan-frying, or roasting, there is a perfect recipe for every occasion. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy meal, give skirt steak a try!
