Ingredients

One 1-pound skirt steak or flank steak
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 lemon
1 shallot, minced
1/3 cup packed fresh basil leaves, chopped
1/3 cup packed fresh mint leaves, chopped
1/3 cup packed fresh Italian parsley leaves, chopped
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted and chopped
3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

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.

GRILLED SKIRT STEAK WITH GARLIC AND HERBS

Grilled Skirt Steak With Garlic and Herbs image

Grilling might just be the best way to cook up a skirt steak. The intense heat gives the succulent and flavorful cut a rich char that's smoky and crisp at the edges. The trick is to get the fire hot enough and dry off any marinade before placing the meat on the grill. This will give you the deepest sear. Here, the meat is marinated in a garlicky herb paste flecked with pickled pepperoncini chiles. Other pickled peppers will work, too, so feel free to substitute pickled jalapeños if that's what you've got. Or use a fresh jalapeño and a dash of pickle juice to get a similar hot and vinegary punch. Lastly, be sure not to overcook the meat. Rare to medium rare guarantees tender beef.

Ingredients

1 cup basil leaves, more for garnish
3 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced, more for garnish
2 tablespoons lemon thyme leaves, more for garnish
2 fat garlic cloves, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped peperoncini (1 to 2 peppers), pickled jalapeño or other pickled peppers
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
Juice of half a lemon
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 1/2 pounds skirt steak

Steps:

In a blender or food processor, combine basil, scallions, lemon thyme, garlic, peperoncini, salt and lemon zest and juice. Pour olive oil over mixture; blend until it turns to paste.
Using paper towels, pat steak dry and place in a large bowl; slather paste mixture all over meat. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or overnight.
Light the grill or heat the broiler with the rack as close to the heat source as possible. Use a paper towel to pat steak dry. (You can leave some of the paste, but for the best sear, the meat should be dry when it hits the grill.) Grill meat over direct heat until char lines appear, and meat is done to taste, 3 to 5 minutes per side, or broil until charred, 2 to 5 minutes per side. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain and serving, garnished with herbs and scallions.
