Skirt Steak With Shallot Thyme Butter Food

SKIRT STEAK WITH SHALLOT-THYME BUTTER

Steps:

• Prepare a gas or charcoal grill; the fire should be so hot you can hold your hand over it for only a couple of seconds.
• Meanwhile, cream the butter with a fork, adding thyme, chives, shallot, 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and the vinegar or juice.
• Grill the steak, 2 minutes a side for rare, about a minute longer per side for medium-rare. As it cooks, season with salt and pepper.
• Spread each steak with about a tablespoon of the flavored butter, and serve. Remaining butter can be wrapped and refrigerated or frozen.

BROILED STEAK WITH SHALLOT BUTTER

Steps:

• Rub the steaks on both sides with oil.
• Heat the broiler until it is glowing.
• Broil the steaks until just cooked to the point that you prefer, turning 2-3 times.
• Melt the butter in a small frying pan, add the vinegar and Worcestershire sauce, the shallots, salt and pepper.
• Heat through, without cooking the shallots, mix in the parsley and keep on one side.
• Put the steaks onto a heated dish and pour some of the shallot butter over each, when it will mingle with the juices.
• Serve at once with your favourite side dishes.

PAN-FRIED SKIRT STEAKS WITH SHALLOT BUTTER

Steps:

• Remove any excess fat from the steaks. Sprinkle the meat on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Choose a black cast-iron skillet large enough to hold the steaks in one layer and brush it with oil.
• Heat the skillet over high heat. Add the steaks side by side and cook about 3 to 4 minutes or until thoroughly browned on one side. Turn and continue cooking until lightly browned, about 3 minutes for medium rare.
• Transfer the steaks to a warm platter and keep warm. Pour off the fat from the skillet.
• Add 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet and when melted, add the shallots, garlic and thyme. Cook briefly until wilted, but do not burn. Add the vinegar, cook briefly and swirl in the remaining butter and the parsley.
• Remove skillet from heat and add the steaks and any juices that have accumulated on the platter. Blend well, and serve immediately with the shallot butter over the steaks.

GARLIC-RUBBED STEAK WITH CABERNET SHALLOT BUTTER RECIPE

Steps:

• Cook Tip: The quality of the steak matters in this dish. Chef Foshee uses naturally raised Niman Ranch beef, which is worth seeking for.
• Steak Rub garlic marinade (see recipe) over steaks and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight. Meanwhile, prepare cabernet shallot butter (see recipe) and set aside. Remove steaks from marinade and pat dry. Preheat a wood or charcoal grill. Season the steaks with salt and pepper and grill to desired doneness. Top each steak with a dollop of cabernet shallot butter. Serve with truffled mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables, such as roasted carrots, wilted spinach, or sauteed mushrooms. Garlic Marinade: Combine garlic, 1 tbsp. of thyme, parsley, bay leaves, chili flakes, and half the olive oil in the bowl of a food processor or blender. Puree until smooth. Add remaining olive oil and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Marinade will keep well refrigerated for up to two weeks. Cabernet Shallot Butter: Combine shallots and wine in a small saucepan and reduce over medium heat until syrupy. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. In a small bowl, beat together softened butter, wine mixture, 1 tbsp. of thyme, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside until ready to serve. The butter mixture will keep, refrigerated, for up to two weeks. Bring to room temperature before serving.

SKIRT STEAK WITH MUSHROOMS AND SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Pat the steaks dry and season with salt and pepper. In a heavy-duty 12-inch skillet (preferably cast iron), heat 2 Tbs. of the olive oil over high heat until shimmering hot. Cook the steaks in a single layer, flipping with tongs halfway through, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the steak registers 130°F for medium rare, 5 to 7 minutes total (if necessary, lower the heat to medium high to finish cooking the thicker pieces). Transfer to a plate and let rest, loosely covered with foil, while making the sauce.
• Heat 2 Tbs. of the olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering hot. Add the mushrooms and a generous pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spatula, until golden-brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm.
• Lower the heat to medium, add the remaining 1 Tbs. olive oil, the shallot, and thyme and cook, stirring, until the shallot is slightly browned, about 1 minute. Add the wine and cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan to dissolve any browned bits, until the liquid has almost evaporated, about 1 minute. Add the chicken broth. Raise the heat to high and boil, adding any juice that has accumulated from the steak and mushrooms, until the sauce is reduced to about 1/3 cup, about 7 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the butter. Stir in the mushrooms and season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
• Thinly slice the steaks diagonally across the grain, if you like, and serve topped with the mushroom sauce.
