Chipotle Marinated Skirt Steak Food

CHIPOTLE STEAK (COPYCAT)

Steps:

• To make the marinade, in the bowl of a food processor or blender, add garlic, adobo sauce, ancho chile powder, olive oil, cumin, dried oregano, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Blend until smooth (add water if needed to fully blend the marinade).
• In a large zipper-top plastic bag or bowl, add steak and marinade, tossing to coat. Let the beef marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or up to 12 hours in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil until shimmering. Add marinated steak to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the temperature reaches 135 degrees for rare or 145 degrees for medium-rare. Depending on the size of your skillet, you can cook the steak in batches.
• Remove to a cutting board and tent with foil for 10 minutes. Chop into small pieces. Season to taste with salt. Serve with your favorite burrito toppings such as rice, beans, guacamole, and salsa.

CHIPOTLE SKIRT STEAK WITH GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Combine the orange juice, adobo and 1/2 teaspoon each cumin and coriander in a shallow dish. Add the steak and turn to coat. Set aside to marinate, 15 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the butter with the orange zest, chopped chipotle, parsley and 1/4 teaspoon salt; refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Crimp the edges of a 24-inch-long piece of foil to create a rimmed tray; set aside. Place the green beans in a large microwave-safe bowl with 1 tablespoon water; cover with plastic wrap and microwave until crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and return to the bowl; add the red onion, olive oil, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon each cumin and coriander and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Spread the vegetables on the foil tray.
• Transfer the tray to the grill and cook, tossing the vegetables occasionally, until they are tender and lightly charred, about 10 minutes. Remove the steak from the marinade and grill 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium rare; transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes, then slice against the grain.
• Top the steak with the chipotle butter. Season the vegetables with salt and top with parsley. Serve with the steak.
