Best Grilled Skirt Steak With Poblano Relish Recipes

GRILLED SKIRT STEAK WITH RED PEPPERS & ONIONS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk the first nine ingredients until blended; gradually whisk in oil. Pour 1-1/2 cups marinade into a large resealable plastic bag. Add beef; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate overnight. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade., In a large bowl, toss remaining vegetables with 1/4 cup of the reserved marinade. Grill red onions and peppers, covered, over medium heat, 4-6 minutes on each side or until tender. Grill green onions 1-2 minutes on each side or until tender., Drain beef, discarding marinade in bag. Grill, covered, over medium heat 4-6 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°); baste with remaining marinade during the last 4 minutes of cooking. Let steak stand 5 minutes., Chop vegetables into bite-size pieces; transfer to a large bowl. Cut steak diagonally across the grain into thin slices; add to vegetables and toss to combine.

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.

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.

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.

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.
