Grilled Skirt Steak With Smoky Eggplant Chutney Recipes

GRILLED SKIRT STEAK WITH SMOKY EGGPLANT CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Build a fire in your grill; when the coals are covered with gray ash and the temperature is medium-hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above the coals for 3 to 4 seconds) you are ready to cook. (For a gas grill, turn all burners to high, lower cover and heat for 15 minutes, then turn burners to medium-high.)
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a medium sauté pan over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add the ginger and garlic and sauté, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute. Add the coriander, cumin, mustard, chile powder and cinnamon and cook, stirring, until the spices just begin to darken and you can smell their aromas strongly, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• When the spice mixture has cooled slightly, sprinkle the steak generously with salt, then rub all over with the mixture, pressing gently so it adheres.
• Put the steak on the grill directly over the heat and cook for 4 to 5 minutes a side for medium-rare. Remove from heat, slice thinly against the grain and serve, accompanied by smoky eggplant chutney if desired.

GRILLED SKIRT STEAK WITH SMOKY HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• For the steak: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high.
• Sprinkle the skirt steak with the salt and drizzle with the olive oil. Place on the grill and cook to the desired doneness, 4 to 6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness. (The outside of the steak should have a golden-brown char.) Remove to a platter and squeeze the lemon half over the steak. Let rest for 10 minutes.
• For the herb sauce: Meanwhile, put the shallot, basil, mint, parsley, olive oil, salt, lemon zest, lemon juice, almonds and paprika in a medium bowl. Mix together until combined.
• Cut the steak on the bias into 1/2-inch-thick slices, against the grain. Serve with the herb sauce.

SMOKY EGGPLANT CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Rub the eggplant with the olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Grill over medium-high heat until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes a side. Remove from heat and cut into medium dice.
• In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly colored, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the eggplant, sugar, vinegar and salt and pepper to taste and cook, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes. Add cilantro and serve.

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.

GRILLED SKIRT STEAK WITH GREEN AND SMOKEY RED CHIMICHURRI

Steps:

• For the green chimichurri: Combine the parsley, mint, oregano, canola oil, vinegar, red pepper flakes and garlic in a food processor and process until smooth.
• Put the steak in a large baking dish, add the green chimichurri and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours. Remove the steak from the marinade and place on a plate 30 minutes before grilling.
• For the red chimichurri: Using a mortar and pestle, combine the parsley, olive oil, vinegar, oregano, chipotle, paprika, red pepper flakes, garlic and some salt and pepper.
• Preheat a charcoal or gas grill to high heat.
• Sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides. Grill until charred on both sides and cooked to medium-rare doneness, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and let rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. Cut the meat across the grain into thin slices, top with the red chimmichurri and garnish with parsley leaves.

GRILLED STOUT SKIRT STEAK

Steps:

• Whisk beer, onion, brown sugar, olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, and hot sauce together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add skirt steak and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator, 6 to 24 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove skirt from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Cook steak on the preheated grill until reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 4 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Transfer meat to a plate to rest, about 10 minutes.
