SKIRT STEAK WITH CHIMICHURRI SAUCE

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor, combine the olive oil, sherry vinegar, lemon juice, parsley, basil, oregano, garlic and shallots. Pulse until well blended but do not puree. Add 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and the crushed red pepper. Remove 1 cup of the chimichurri sauce from the processor and transfer to a non-reactive bowl, cover with plastic wrap and reserve at room temperature for up to 6 hours. (If cooking steak another day, refrigerate sauce and return to room temperature before serving.)
• Season the steak with 1 teaspoon of the kosher salt on each side, as well as 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper per side and place in a large, resealable plastic bag. Add the remaining chimichurri sauce from the processor. Seal bag and refrigerate the steak for at least 2 and up to 4 hours.
• Preheat a grill to medium heat.
• Once the steak has finished marinating, remove it from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for 30 minutes. Brush the excess chimichurri sauce off the steak and set the steak over the hot grill. Cook for 6 minutes on the first side. Rotate the steak 45 degrees, and cook another 6 minutes. Turn the steak over and continue to cook until the steak is done, about 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare. Once cooked, lay the steak on a clean cutting board, and allow it to rest for 5 to 7 minutes before slicing across the grain into 2-inch wide strips. Serve with crusty bread and the reserved chimichurri sauce.

SKIRT STEAK WITH MUSHROOMS AND RED WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Soak dried mushrooms in hot water 15 minutes. Drain mushrooms, reserving liquid. Rinse mushrooms thoroughly. Strain soaking liquid through coffee filter or paper towel.
• Meanwhile, let steaks warm at room temperature 10-15 minutes.
• Heat oil in heavy skillet over medium heat. Add steaks and saute, turning once, about 8 minutes for medium-rare. Remove to serving platter and cover loosely.
• Pour off all but thin layer of fat from skillet. Heat over medium heat. Add shallots and cook, stirring constantly, just until wilted, about 30 seconds. Stir in both dried and fresh mushrooms and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Pour in wine and mushroom-soaking liquid. Boil until liquid is reduced by half. Stir in cream and any meat juices on plates. Taste and adjust seasonings. Spoon sauce over steaks and serve hot.

Heat 1/2 tablespoon of oil in each of 2 (12-inch) nonstick or heavy skillets over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté steaks in batches, without crowding, 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to a platter and let stand, loosely covered, 5 minutes.
