SKIRT STEAK MARINADE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, pepper, salt, and a pinch of red pepper.
• Add steaks to a resealable zip lock bag or large bowl and pour the marinade on top. Marinate for 2 hours or overnight.

EBERHARD'S MARINATED SKIRT STEAK

Steps:

• Place garlic and peppers in a huge bowl. Add sherry vinegar and molasses. Stir until thoroughly blended. Whisk in olive oil and salt. Add 3 sprigs marjoram and 1/2 cup cold water. Place steaks in the marinade, pushing them down so they are completely submerged. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
• Prepare charcoal or gas grill, arranging coals so that half the grill is very hot and the other half is medium hot. The coals should be gray-white, without flames, when you begin grilling.
• For a gas grill, follow the manufacturer's instructions for adding wood chips. For a charcoal grill, sprinkle the grapevine cuttings over the hot coals, and let them ignite. Wait until the flames subside, then place the steaks on the hottest side of the grill. Cover and grill for 3 minutes on the first side. Turn the steaks over, and grill for 3 minutes on the second side. Move the steaks to the cooler part of the charcoal grill, or turn the gas grill down to medium high. Grill 2 minutes longer for rare, or until the steaks are done to your liking.
• Transfer steaks to a cutting board and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Slice the steaks crosswise into strips about 3/4 inch wide. Serve on a large platter, garnished with sprigs of marjoram.

SKIRT STEAK

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.

GRILLED SKIRT STEAK PHILLY CHEESESTEAKS WITH HOMEMADE CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the orange juice, soy sauce, maple syrup, olive oil and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl and pour over the skirt steak in a pan to marinate, up to 30 minutes.
• In a medium saucepot, bring the cream to a boil. Slowly whisk in the American cheese until a sauce is formed. Keep warm.
• Preheat a charcoal grill to medium-high heat.
• Toss the onions and peppers in a bowl with some olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on the grill and cook until lightly charred and tender, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Remove the skirt steak from the marinade and cook on the grill until medium-rare, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise and butter the insides of the rolls. Grill until toasted, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Slice the steak thinly against the grain and fill the rolls. Top with copious amounts of cheese sauce, grilled vegetables and hot cherry peppers.

MARINATED GRILLED SKIRT STEAK

Steps:

• Mix mango nectar, soy sauce, garlic, and hot sauce in a bowl. Add steak and marinate for 8 hours, or overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Grill steaks until they are beginning to firm and are hot and slightly pink in the center, 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
• Remove from grill, cover, and allow to rest for 2 minutes. Cut steak across the grain and serve.

LIME-MARINATED SKIRT STEAK

Steps:

• In blender, combine lime juice, soy sauce, garlic, and jalapeno; puree until smooth. Transfer to a shallow dish or large resealable plastic bag. Toss with steak to coat. Let stand at least 30 minutes, and no more than 2 hours, to infuse with flavor.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high, until very hot. Cook steak, in two batches if necessary, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing thinly. Serve with lime wedges, if desired.

SOY MARINATED SKIRT STEAK

Steps:

• Whisk sweet soy sauce, sake, pineapple juice, mirin, reduced-sodium soy sauce, cilantro, sugar, ginger, garlic, scallions, and chile paste together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add skirt steak and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove meat from marinade, and shake off excess. Pour marinade into a saucepan; bring to a boil and cook until sauce is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Strain sauce into a bowl.
• Cook steak on the preheated grill until it begins to firm and is hot and slightly pink in the center, about 4 to 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Transfer steak to a plate and let rest, about 5 minutes. Serve steak with sauce.

CHURRASCO (GRILLED MARINATED SKIRT STEAK)

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.
