Good Eats Skirt Steak (Marinade) - Great for Fajitas! image

It is interesting how he puts the steaks right on the coals, hence the need for a blow dryer. It's a good episode to watch to see how creative he is. **If you don't do it directly on the hot coals, you need to cook it longer, like 2-3 minutes per side (and watch for flare ups). Really, you can make it any way you like! I sometimes use the broiler - heat up a cast iron skillet then place the steaks on it to broil - or just a quick pan fry with some olive oil. Oh, and DEFINITELY pay attention to the way to cut the steak, it makes all the difference! Makes a great marinade on whatever meat you choose :) Prep time includes a one hour marinating time.

Time 1h27m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup soy sauce
4 scallions, washed and cut in 1/2
2 large garlic cloves
1/4 cup lime juice
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 lbs skirt steaks, inside cut, cut into 3 equal pieces

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Heat charcoal, preferably natural chunk, until grey ash appears.
  • 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.
