Grilled Skirt Steak Salad Recipes

GRILLED SKIRT-STEAK SALAD

Steps:

• Heat a grill to medium-high. Season steak with salt and pepper. Brush corn and onion with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Lightly brush grates with vegetable oil.
• Grill corn, turning occasionally, until lightly charred, 10 to 12 minutes. Grill onion until lightly charred and tender, 6 to 8 minutes a side. Transfer vegetables to a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, cut kernels from cobs and coarsely chop onion.
• Meanwhile, grill steak until a thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 125°F for medium-rare, about 3 minutes a side. Transfer to a plate; drizzle with 2 tablespoons vinaigrette. Let stand 10 minutes, then slice against the grain.
• In a large salad bowl or platter, layer romaine, bell pepper, tomatoes, corn, and onion. Season to taste; drizzle with half of remaining vinaigrette. Top with steak and feta. Serve with remaining dressing on the side.

SKIRT STEAK WITH ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bread cubes and cook until crisp and slightly golden, turning as needed, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, tossing, until the garlic is slightly golden, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a large bowl; wipe out the skillet. Add the radishes, tomatoes, basil, capers and caper brine to the bowl and toss to combine.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak with salt and pepper, add to the pan and sear until browned on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Turn and sear until browned on the other side, 3 to 5 more minutes. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes.
• Add the arugula and the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the bowl with the salad and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper. Thinly slice the steak against the grain and divide among plates. Serve with the salad.

GRILLED SKIRT STEAK CAPRESE

Steps:

• Make the vinaigrette: Whisk together the vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. While whisking, slowly drizzle in the oil and whisk until emulsified. Set aside.
• Place the steak in a baking dish. Add half the vinaigrette and turn to coat; let the steak sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Heat a grill to high or a grill pan over high heat on top of the stove.
• Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Grill until lightly charred on both sides and just cooked to medium-rare doneness, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix the arugula and red onion in a large bowl. Add some of the remaining vinaigrette and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
• Thinly slice the steak across the grain and arrange it on a platter with the tomatoes. Serve with the arugula salad.

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.

GRILLED SKIRT STEAK WITH ORZO PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• In a shallow baking dish, season steak with kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper and toss in olive oil and vinegar to coat; set aside at room temperature.
• Meanwhile, heat a salted pot of water to boiling over high heat, add orzo and cook until al dente, 3 - 4 minutes; drain and set in fridge to cool 15 minutes.
• Heat grill over medium high heat and grill steaks 2 - 3 minutes per side for medium rare; remove from heat and allow steaks to rest.
• Remove chilled orzo from fridge and add remaining ingredients along with 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil. Toss well to combine and plate.
• Slice steak thin and on the bias and plate next to orzo salad. Serve immediately.

GRILLED SKIRT STEAK AND HEARTS OF PALM SALAD

Steps:

• Whisk together 1 tablespoon each curry paste and oil. Season steak with salt and rub all over with curry mixture. Transfer to a resealable bag and let stand, massaging occasionally, 10 minutes (or refrigerate up to 1 day).
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together lime zest and juice, sugar, fish sauce, and remaining 1 teaspoon curry and 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt.
• Cook noodles in a large pot of boiling water until just tender, about 2 minutes; drain. Rinse under cold water; drain well.
• Heat grill to high. Brush grates with oil. Grill steak, flipping once, until charred in places and a thermometer inserted into thickest parts registers 125°F for medium-rare, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; tent with foil. Meanwhile, brush hearts of palm lightly with oil. Grill, flipping once, until charred in places, 1 to 2 minutes total. Transfer to plate and brush with 1 tablespoon fish-sauce dressing. Let steak rest 10 minutes, then slice against the grain.
• To serve, toss tomatoes, vermicelli, and herbs with three-quarters of dressing and any accumulated steak juices. Season with salt and pepper. Divide greens among 4 plates; top with vermicelli mixture, hearts of palm, and steak. Drizzle remaining dressing over top.
