Grilled Skirt Steak And Fruited Rice Pilaf Recipes

GRILLED SKIRT STEAK RECIPE

Steps:

• Season steak with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Combine the olive oil, dry sherry, soy sauce, honey, garlic and red pepper in a zip top plastic bag (or shallow baking dish). Place steak in bag and let marinate on counter top for 30 minutes.*
• Preheat grill to high heat (at least 500 degrees or higher if possible), clean grates and brush with oil if needed.
• Remove steak from marinade (discard any remaining marinade) and sear on the hot grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until the steak reaches an internal temperature of 130 degrees F. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing the steak AGAINST the grain into thin strips. Serve with the chimichurri sauce if desired.

HOW TO GRILL SKIRT STEAK

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• While technically optional, the first step for the best-tasting grilled steak is to salt it. Put the salt in a small bowl or ramekin. If using the pepper and/or cayenne, add them to the salt and mix. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to overnight in the fridge. In any case, bring the meat to about room temperature, or at least let it sit out to take the chill off before cooking it to help ensure even cooking.
• While the meat sits, make sure the cooking grate on your charcoal or gas grill is cleaned and well oiled, then heat the grill to high heat. You should be able to hold your hand about an inch over the grill grate for 1 second before it feels too hot. If using a charcoal grill, build the fire to one side so you'll also have a cooler area where you can move the steak(s) if it's seared and browned on the outside but not quite ready to take off the grill completely (if you're using a gas grill , you'll be able to turn off a burner if need be).
• Set the steak(s) on the grill and cook, without moving, until that side is seared and releases from the grill of its own accord, about 3 minutes for medium-rare, 4 minutes for medium.
• Turn and cook on the other side to the same effect, about 3 to 4 more minutes. You can use a meat thermometer to get an accurate temperature if you like. For rare, remove the steak(s) at 120 F to 125 F; medium-rare 125 F to 130 F; and medium 130 F to 135 F.
• Remove the steak(s) from the grill, cover loosely with foil, and let sit at least 10 minutes. This resting time allows the meat to finish cooking and the juices to redistribute evenly throughout the steak. It is extremely important to achieving a properly cooked steak when everything is said and done, so despite the temptation, don't skip this step.
• Use a sharp knife to slice the steak against the grain and serve hot, warm, or at room temperature. Skirt steak is particularly flavorful, so any cold leftovers are more than usually delicious.
