MICHAEL SYMON'S GRILLED SKIRT STEAK RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• Season the steak liberally with salt and pepper. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, rosemary and chili flakes. Add about 1/3 of a cup of olive oil. Place the steak in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade into it. Marinate for a minimum of 2 hours and preferably overnight in the fridge. Remove the steak from the fridge 30 minutes prior to use. Heat a grill over medium-high heat. Wipe off the bits of the marinade from the steak and drizzle it with olive oil. Place the steak on the grill and cook 2 to 4 minutes per side, or until the meat has grill marks. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes, then slice across the grain and serve.

FIRE PIT STEAK AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only. Allow the temperature to reach 300 degrees F.
• For the potatoes: Lay out 2 pieces of parchment paper on top of 2 pieces of heavy-duty aluminum foil, making an X. Add the potatoes to the center along with the rosemary, garlic and olive oil. Season with sea salt and pepper, then bring up all 4 edges of the foil. Pour in the white wine and seal the foil and parchment, making a packet.
• Place the potato packet onto the indirect heat side of the grill. Close the lid and cook until the potatoes are cooked through and tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the grill when ready and set aside. They will keep warm in the packet.
• For the steak: Mix together the kosher salt, pepper and chopped rosemary. Season the steaks liberally with the seasoning mix, patting down to ensure the seasoning really sticks. Place the steaks on the indirect side of the grill, close the lid, and cook until the internal temperature reaches 110 to 120 degrees F, or rare, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove the steaks from the grill, then carefully remove the grill grate and set aside.
• Brush the steaks with olive oil and place directly onto the coals. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until the desired temperature. Remove the steaks to a cutting board to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
• Pour the potatoes into a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Slice the steak and serve together with the potatoes.

MICHAEL SYMON'S FLANK STEAK WITH GRILLED POTATOES AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Whisk together all the marinade ingredients, and pour over flank steak. Refrigerate in a gallon bag for 6 hours or overnight.
• Make the vinaigrette by whisking all ingredients together. This can be made ahead of the time, refrigerate until ready to use.
• Remove steak from the marinade to a towel or paper towels, and discard marinade. Pat steak dry on both sides, and allow to come to room temperature.
• Put the potatoes in a medium pot and cover with cold water. Add 1 T of salt and bring the water to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and gently boil the potatoes until fork tender, about 18 minutes. Strain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. When they are cool enough to handle, cut them in half lengthwise and toss them with 2 T of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
• Heat your grill to medium high. Season the steak with freshly ground black pepper, and drizzle a little bit of olive oil on it. Place the steak on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side. Place the potatoes on the grill also, cut side down, and grill for about 2 minutes per side.
• When the flank steak is done, place it on a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes.
• As the potatoes come off the grill, remove them to a mixing bowl. Spoon some of the vinaigrette over them, and toss to combine. Add the arugula and shallot on top of the potatoes with a little more vinaigrette, salt and pepper, and toss to combine.
• Slice the flank steak thinly and against the grain and serve an top or alongside the potatoes and arugula. .
