Skirt Steak With Juniper Thyme And Garlic Food

SKIRT STEAK WITH CRISPY GARLIC POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Finely chop garlic, and sprinkle with salt. Using a chef's knife, press flat side of blade back and forth across garlic to make a paste. Transfer to a small bowl; stir in thyme and 1 tablespoon oil. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss potatoes with garlic mixture; bake until browned on underside, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a large skillet or grill pan over high. Season steaks with salt and pepper, and cook (in two batches if necessary) until medium-rare, 3 to 6 minutes per side (depending on thickness of steak). Transfer to a plate to rest.
• While steaks rest, make salad: In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, Dijon, and remaining oil; season with salt and pepper. Add watercress, and toss to combine. Serve steaks with potatoes and salad.

GRILLED SKIRT STEAK

Steps:

• In a large ziplock bag add the skirt steak, soy sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, italian seasoning, pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes. Let marinate for 2 hours or overnight.
• Preheat your grill to high heat. Add the steak to the grill and cook for 3-5 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 for medium.

SKIRT STEAK WITH JUNIPER, THYME AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat a gas or charcoal grill until you can hold your hand over it only a couple of seconds.
• Meanwhile, place steaks on a platter, and sprinkle with juniper berries. Lay thyme and garlic on top, and drizzle with just enough olive oil to lightly coat steaks. Turn steaks to disperse seasonings. Let them sit about 15 minutes to reach room temperature.
• Season steaks with salt and pepper to taste. Grill (or saute in heavy skillet over high heat), about 2 minutes on each side for rare, or a minute longer for medium rare. Turn once, tucking thyme under steaks as they cook. Serve hot.

SKIRT STEAK

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill.
• Season the skirt steak with salt and pepper and lightly brush both sides with sauce. Cook the steak on the grill for about 3 minutes on each side. Slice the steak diagonally and serve.
• Melt the butter in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, ketchup, tomato juice, brown sugar, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, vinegar, chipotle puree, salt and 3 cups water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring frequently.

GARLIC DIJON SKIRT STEAK

Steps:

• Mince garlic and in a bowl stir together with mustard and lime juice. Trim steak if necessary. Rub steak with mustard mixture and marinate 15 minutes.
• Heat a well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat until just smoking and grill steak 3 minutes on each side. (Alternatively, broil steak on rack of a broiler pan about 4 inches from heat.) Transfer steak to a platter and let stand, uncovered, 5 minutes.
• With a sharp knife diagonally cut steak into 1/3-inch-thick slices and serve with coleslaw and fries.

SUCCULENT SKIRT STEAK

Steps:

• Cut skirt steak into three equally-sized portions. Place in a freezer bag or non-reactive bowl.
• Wisk together remaining ingredients. Pour over steak.
• Marinate in the refrigerator for 12-24 hours.
• To grill: Pile coals on one side of the grill so that the top of the pile touches the grill grate. You want the skirt steak to be right on top of the blazing red-hot coals. (In fact, some people actually skip the grate and cook directly on the coals after blowing the ash off.).
• Sear the steaks, about 2 minutes on each side.
• Allow the steak to rest about ten minutes before slicing.
• Slice the steak into 1/2 to 1 inch-thick slices, cutting against the grain.
• Serve and enjoy.

Steps:

• Heat charcoal, preferably natural chunk, until grey ash appears.
• In a blender, put in oil, soy sauce, scallions, garlic, lime juice, red pepper, cumin, and sugar and puree.
• In a large heavy duty, zip top bag, put pieces of skirt steak and pour in marinade.
• Seal bag, removing as much air as possible.
• Allow steak to marinate for 1 hour in refrigerator.
• Remove steak from bag and pat dry with paper towels.
• Using a blow dryer, blow charcoal clean of ash.
• Once clean of ash lay steaks directly onto hot coals for 1 minute per side.
• When finished cooking, place meat in double thickness of aluminum foil, wrap, and allow to sit for 15 minutes.
• Remove meat from foil, reserving foil and juices.
• Slice thinly across the grain of the meat.
• Return to foil pouch and toss with juice.
• Serve with grilled peppers and onions, if desired.

SKIRT STEAK WITH RED-WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Pat steak dry and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then cook steaks, turning over once, 5 to 7 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer to a platter.
• Pour off fat from skillet, then add wine, thyme, bay leaf, sugar, and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a boil, scraping up brown bits. Continue to boil until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add any meat juices on platter, then remove from heat and discard bay leaf and thyme. Stir in butter and salt and pepper to taste and serve with steaks.
