Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cloves garlic
Olive oil, for cooking
One 2-ounce tin anchovies, roughly chopped
4 long hot peppers
2 lemons, zested and juiced
One 1 1/2-pound skirt steak
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • For the salsa-like sauce: Add garlic to a small saucepan over low heat and just cover with olive oil. Cook, about 30 minutes. Add anchovies and continue to cook, using the back of a wooden spoon to break up the anchovies and garlic, until anchovies melt, about 15 minutes more. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Preheat a grill for cooking over high heat.
  • Grill long hot peppers on each side until softened and lightly charred. Remove from grill, roughly chop and place in a large bowl. (Leave grill on.) Add the garlic-anchovy mixture and mix to combine. Add lemon zest and juice to taste. Mix to combine.
  • For the grilled skirt steak: Sprinkle skirt steak with salt and pepper. Grill steak about 2 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Remove from grill and allow to rest.
  • Slice steak on a bias and place on a serving platter. Top steak with salsa-like sauce. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve!
