Fresh Garlic Cilantro Steak Sauce Perfect For Skirt Steak Food

DINNER TONIGHT: SKIRT STEAK WITH CILANTRO GARLIC SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine the steak spices in a small bowl. Pat the steak dry so that the surface is tacky, then rub the spice mixture into both sides. Turn on the burner to high under the grill pan to get it heating.
• Meanwhile, mince the garlic and mash to a paste with the salt (the flat edge of a chef's knife works well for this). Transfer to a blender or mini food processor with the rest of the sauce ingredients, and blend until smooth.
• Rub the grill pan with a bit of oil, and grill the steak about 5 minutes per side for a typical cut (medium rare). Once it's cooked and rested, slice thinly and drizzle with the sauce.
