Best Sauteed Skirt Steak With Braised Scallions Recipe Epicuriouscom Recipes

SKIRT STEAK FAJITAS WITH GRILLED CABBAGE AND SCALLIONS

Steps:

• For steak:
• Purée garlic, lime juice, oil, paprika, cilantro, cumin, salt, and onion powder in a blender until smooth. Transfer marinade to a resealable plastic bag and add steak. Seal bag and turn to coat; chill at least 4 hours.
• DO AHEAD: Steak can be marinated 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
• For vegetables and assembly:
• Prepare grill for medium-high heat. (Alternatively, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.) Drizzle cabbage, white onion, and scallions with 4 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, until vegetables are charred and softened, about 4 minutes for scallions, 10-12 minutes for cabbage and onion. Let vegetables cool slightly.
• Core cabbage and cut into bite-size pieces along with scallions and onion. Toss chopped vegetables in a large bowl with red onion, lime juice, cilantro, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper.
• Remove steak from marinade, scraping off excess; season with salt and pepper. Grill steak until medium-rare, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve steak with vegetables, tortillas, and Dried Chile Salsa.

GRILLED BEEF SKIRT STEAK WITH ONION MARINADE

Steps:

• Make the onion marinade:
• Combine the onion, garlic, 1/4 cup of the oil, and water in a blender; blend until smooth. Put the skirt steak in a large resealable plastic bag or baking dish and pour in the onion mixture, coating both sides. Cover or wrap the meat well so the onion scent does not permeate your refrigerator; chill for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
• To make the skirt steak:
• Prepare a grill to medium-high heat.
• Remove the steak from the marinade and season both sides with the kosher salt and pepper. Transfer the meat to the grill and let cook until one side is well seared, 3 minutes. Flip and cook for 2 minutes more, for rare to medium-rare. At this point, remove the steak from the grill and let rest for 2 minutes to allow the carryover heat to give it a more even doneness. Finally, return the steak to the grill and cook for 1 minute more per side (this guarantees this thin cut of steak will be served hot). (Add another minute of cooking on the second side for medium doneness.) Remove the skirt steak from the grill and let rest 1 to 2 minutes before slicing and serving.
• Cut each steak with the grain into three sections. Turn each piece to slice against the grain at a 45-degree angle. Slice into 1/4-inch pieces on a slight bias against the grain. You should get about 5 slices per cut piece, about 15 slices total. Transfer the meat to a warmed plate. Garnish with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and smoked sea salt and serve with the chimichurri.

SAUTEED SKIRT STEAK IN SPICY TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250°F.
• Halve onion and thinly slice. Drain tomatoes, reserving purée, and finely chop. Wearing protective gloves, seed chile if desired for a milder sauce and finely chop. Cut steak crosswise into 4 pieces. Pat steak dry and season with salt.
• Heat a dry 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot and add oil. Sauté steak about 2 minutes on each side for medium-rare and transfer to a baking dish. Keep steak warm in oven.
• To skillet add onions with tomatoes, reserved purée, chile, and salt to taste and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened slightly and onion is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in any juices that have accumulated on baking dish from steak. Serve steak with sauce. Serves 2.

GRILLED SPICED GARLIC SKIRT STEAK

Steps:

• Prepare grill.
• Cut steak into large pieces if necessary to fit on grill.
• In a small bowl stir together remaining ingredients. On a sheet of wax paper spread spice paste evenly on both sides of steak. Marinate steak at room temperature 15 minutes.
• Grill steak on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or until just springy to the touch, for medium-rare meat. (Alternately, steak may be grilled in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.)
• On a cutting board let steak stand 5 minutes and cut diagonally across grain into thin slices. Serve steak with quesadillas.

SAUTEED SKIRT STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Brush steak with Worcestershire and marinate 15 minutes.
• Sauté steaks:
• Lightly pat steaks dry and season well with salt. Heat 1/2 tablespoon of oil in each of 2 (12-inch) nonstick or heavy skillets over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté steaks in batches, without crowding, 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to a platter and let stand, loosely covered, 5 minutes.
