Grilled Skirt Steak With Poblano Relish Food

GRILLED SKIRT STEAK WITH POBLANO RELISH

Steps:

• In a large glass dish, combine pineapple juice and soy sauce. Add steak, turning to coat, and marinate at room temperature, 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat broiler, with rack in top position. Place poblanos and onion on a rimmed baking sheet and broil until charred, 7 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. When poblanos are cool enough to handle, rub with a paper towel to remove skins. Remove stems and seeds and discard. Roughly chop poblanos and onion and place in a medium bowl. Stir in oil, lime juice, and cilantro; season relish with salt and pepper.
• Heat a grill or grill pan to high. Clean and lightly oil hot grill. Remove steak from marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill steak 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare, flipping once. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain. Serve steak with relish.

GRILLED MARINATED SKIRT STEAK WITH POBLANO CREMA AND POMEGRANATE PICO

Steps:

• For the marinated skirt steak: Combine the brown sugar, hot sauce and orange juice in a shallow container. Add the steak and marinate, refrigerated, for at least 20 minutes and up to 2 hours.
• For the pomegranate pico: Roll the pomegranate to loosen the seeds, then cut the pomegranate in half. Hold one of the halves over a bowl, cut-side down, and tap the top with a spoon while lightly squeezing to release the seeds (save the remaining pomegranate half for another use). Add the pineapple, jalapeno, olive oil, lime juice and some salt; toss and set aside.
• For the poblano crema: Add the cilantro, creme fraiche, salt, garlic, poblanos and lime zest and juice to a food processor; process to combine. Set aside.
• Prepare a grill for high heat. Grill the skirt steak for 6 to 8 minutes per side. Let rest, then slice thinly.
• For serving: Fry the corn tortillas in vegetable oil until crisp; set aside.
• Place the arugula in a bowl and dress with the olive oil, lime juice and a pinch of salt.
• To plate: Smear some poblano crema across a plate; place a tortilla, off-center, on top. Add a small portion of the arugula salad to the tortilla, followed by some steak. Top with some pomegranate pico and garnish with cotija.

15-MINUTE GRILLED SKIRT STEAK WITH PESTO BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat a large cast-iron grill pan over high heat for 2 minutes. Cut the skirt steak into 4 even pieces, rub with half of the oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Cook, turning once, until charred on both sides and at the desired doneness, 6 to 10 minutes for medium-rare (depending on thickness).
• Meanwhile, whisk together the pesto, butter and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl.
• Trim the ends of the asparagus. Toss the asparagus with the remaining oil and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board to rest for a few minutes. Working in batches if necessary, place the asparagus in a single layer on the grill pan and cook, turning once, until charred in spots and crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.
• Divide the steaks and asparagus among 4 plates; top each steak with a dollop of the pesto butter. Serve immediately.

• Mix dressing, lime zest, juice, garlic and spices until blended; reserve 1 Tbsp. mixture. Pour remaining mixture over steak in shallow dish; turn to evenly coat both sides. Refrigerate 1 hour to marinate.
• Meanwhile, cut chiles in half; remove and discard seeds and ribs. Spray with cooking spray; grill 5 to 7 min. or until crisp-tender and slightly charred, turning occasionally. Remove from heat; place in paper bag. Peel and discard skin. Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade.
• Grill steak 5 min.; turn steak. Add onions, brushed with reserved dressing mixture; grill 5 min. or until steak is medium doneness (160°F) and onions are tender, turning onions after 3 min. Serve steak with onions, roasted chiles and lime wedges.

GRILLED SKIRT STEAK TACOS WITH ROASTED POBLANO RAJAS

Steps:

• 1. Marinating the Meat. In a food processor or blender combine one-quarter of the onions, the garlic, lime juice, cumin and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Process to a smooth puree. Place the skirt steak in a nonaluminum baking dish. Using a spoon, smear the marinade over both sides of the skirt steak. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours.
• 2. Making the Grilled Chile-and-Onion Rajas. Turn on the oven to its lowest setting. Heat a gas grill to medium high or light a charcoal fire and let it burn just until the coals are covered with gray ash and very hot. Either turn the burner(s) in the center of the grill to medium-low or bank the coals to the sides of the grill for indirect cooking. Set the cooking grate in place, cover the grill and let the grate heat up, 5 minutes or so.
• Lay the chiles on the hottest part of the grill, and cook, turning occasionally until the skin is blistered and uniformly blackened all over, about 5 minutes. Be careful not to char the flesh, only the skin. Remove the chiles from the grill and cover with a kitchen towel.
• While the chiles are roasting, brush or spray the remaining onion slice with oil and lay the whole rounds of onions on the grill in a cooler spot than you chose for the chiles. When they're starting to soften and are browned on the first side, about 10 minutes, use a spatula to flip them and brown the other side. Transfer to an ovenproof serving dish and separate the rings (if they haven't started separating during grilling).
• 3. Grilling the Meat. Remove the steak from the marinade and gently shake off the excess. Oil the steak well on both sides and lay it over the hottest part of the grill. Grill, turning once, until richly browned and done to your liking, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side for medium-rare (the way I like skirt steak).
• 4. Serving the tacos. Cut the long piece of skirt steak into 3-to 4-inch lengths, then cut each section across the grain (that is, in line with the full length of the steak) into thin strips. Mix with the chiles and onions, season with a little salt and set on the table along with the lime wedges and hot tortillas, for your guests to make into soft tacos.
• Working Ahead: Thin steaks like skirt taste best with a relatively short tour in the marinade - 1 to 8 hours. Leave them longer, and the marinade overpowers the flavor and saps the rosy color of the meat. The poblano-and-onion rajas can be made several hours ahead and left at room temperature; rewarm before serving. The steak, of course, must be grilled just before you're ready to eat.

SKIRT STEAK WITH POBLANO RAJAS AND ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Peel, seed, and cut chiles lengthwise into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Set aside. Brush steaks with 1 tablespoon oil. Mix 1 teaspoon cumin and ancho chile powder; rub spice mixture on both sides of steaks. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add zucchini, poblanos, and green onions; sauté until zucchini is tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon cumin. Add cream; boil until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in another large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add both steaks to skillet and cook to desired doneness (about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare). Remove steaks from pan. Let cool 5 minutes. Thinly slice steaks across grain.
• Transfer steaks to platter. Top with poblanos and cilantro.
• Using tongs, char the chile over a gas flame, or place it in the broiler, and turn it occasionally. When chile is blackened all over, enclose it in a paper bag for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the chile to steam, which loosens the skin. Using your fingers or the back of a knife, remove the blackened skin from the chile.

GRILLED STEAK SANDWICH WITH POBLANO CRANBERRY CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Cut the poblano pepper in half, remove the seeds and place under broiler until charred. Put the pepper in a bowl, cover and allow to stand while preparing the remaining ingredients.
• In a medium size saucepan lightly saute the red onion in a small amount of olive oil. Stir in the cranberries, water, orange juice, orange zest, brown sugar, ginger and cinnamon. Bring to a boil and cook until cranberries pop and juice thickens. Remove from heat. When the poblano is cool enough to handle, remove the charred skin, finely dice and add to the cooked cranberries along with the raisins and pistachios. Cover and refrigerate. The finished chutney should be thick about the consistency of jam.
• Mix together the chili powder, salt and cumin. Rub into the steaks and allow to rest at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes or can be prepared several hours ahead and refrigerated. Prior to cooking the meat, remove from refrigerate and allow to come to room temperature. The chutney should be removed from the refrigerate and allow to come to room temperature.
• Grill meat on indoor grill until medium. Weather permitting the meat can be cooked on an outdoor grill. Tent with foil and allow meat to rest for 10 minutes then thinly slice.
• To assemble the sandwiches, lightly butter 1 side of each slice of bread as for grilled cheese sandwiches. Turn the plain sides up, top each with a thin slice of cheese, spread each bread slice with cranberry chutney. On 4 of the bread slices, layer the sliced steak and then top with second bread-cheese slice.
• Place bread buttered side down on heated grill or heavy skillet. Grill until golden, flip and cook the other side. Serve and enjoy.
• Please note: Canned poblanos may be used. There may be extra chutney that is delicious served alongside the sandwich.

GRILLED FLANK STEAK WITH SUMMER RELISH

Let stand 5 minutes., When corn is cool enough to handle, cut kernels from cobs; place in a large bowl. Remove skin and seeds from tomatoes and poblano. Chop onions, tomatoes and poblano; add to bowl. Gently stir in avocado, vinegar, salt and remaining oil. Thinly slice steak across the grain. Serve with relish.
