Grilled Skirt Steak With Artichoke Potato Hash And Black Olive Aïoli Food

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.

BRAISED SKIRT STEAK WITH ARTICHOKE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Dissolve beef boullion cube in boiling water. Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe Dutch oven over high heat. Season the skirt steak on both sides with salt, and cook in the hot oil until browned on both sides, about 2 minutes per side.
• Pour the beef bouillon and 1/4 cup artichoke juice into the Dutch oven, then stir in the artichokes, red peppers, jalapeno peppers, carrots, capers, and horseradish. Bring to a boil, then cover, and place into the preheated oven. Bake until the meat has turned from red to light pink in the center, about 30 minutes.
• Remove the skirt steak from the Dutch oven, cover with foil, and keep warm. Return the Dutch oven to the stove, and simmer, uncovered, over medium-high heat until the sauce has reduced to your desired consistency, about 10 minutes. Slice the skirt steak thinly, and serve with the reduced sauce.

GRILLED SKIRT STEAK WITH STICKY BARBECUE ONIONS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
• For the sticky barbecue onions: Heat a cast-iron skillet over direct heat. Melt the butter. Add the onions with a pinch of salt and cook until they begin to caramelize, about 5 minutes. Whisk together the ketchup, vinegar, mustard, sugar, cayenne, cumin and paprika in a small bowl (see Cook's Note). Add the sauce to the onions. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until the liquid reduces and begins to get sticky, 8 to 10 minutes. Move over indirect heat to keep warm while you cook your steak.
• For the steak: Sprinkle the steak with salt and pepper on both sides and bring to room temperature. Drizzle the steak with the oil and sprinkle with the oregano and paprika on both sides. Place the steak over direct heat and cook until it gets a nice char, 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
• Add a splash of oil, a pinch of salt and some pepper to a cutting board. Place the steak on the seasoned oil on the cutting board, flip and rest 5 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain and serve topped with the onions.
• (Alternatively, you can cook the onions over medium-high heat on a stovetop, and the steak in a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over high heat on a stovetop.)

ARTICHOKE AND POTATO HASH

Steps:

• This to me is best in a cast iron skillet or a stainless pan vs non stick. But use what you have.
• A one pan dish -- In a large sauce pan, melt the butter and add the oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook 2 minutes. Add the potatoes and a little broth and cook until the potatoes start to get slightly brown and soft. This will take around 8-10 minutes. During that time add a little broth at a time for a little moisture. Then the last 5 minutes, add the artichokes, capers, s/p, scallions, and rosemary. A little broth if necessary and cook another 5 minutes until everything is soft and it resembles a nice hash. Serve with fresh slices of flank or skirt steak or a nice fillet. Chicken is also great with this too.
