Best Skirt Steak With Shallots Broccolini Recipes
SKIRT STEAK WITH SHALLOT-THYME BUTTER
Steve Johnson, the chef at the Blue Room in Cambridge, Mass., has been cooking skirt steak for years, long before it became wildly popular. But never before has he served a better - or simpler - rendition of this long, thin band of wonderfully marbled beef. His secret: a slice of compound butter, flavored with shallots, chives and thyme, that melts over the meat. It had been so long since I had seen flavored butter on steak that this version came as something of a revelation.

Steps:
- Prepare a gas or charcoal grill; the fire should be so hot you can hold your hand over it for only a couple of seconds.
- Meanwhile, cream the butter with a fork, adding thyme, chives, shallot, 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and the vinegar or juice.
- Grill the steak, 2 minutes a side for rare, about a minute longer per side for medium-rare. As it cooks, season with salt and pepper.
- Spread each steak with about a tablespoon of the flavored butter, and serve. Remaining butter can be wrapped and refrigerated or frozen.

SKIRT STEAK WITH SHALLOTS
Steps:
- To cook the steak, in a heavy-duty skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Add the meat to the skillet without crowding, in batches, if necessary, and cook on both sides until well browned and medium-rare, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a warm plate and cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm while preparing the sauce.
- To prepare the sauce, return the pan to the cooktop over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and the shallots. Cook until the shallots are soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the vinegar and stir to combine. Cook until the vinegar evaporates, 30 to 45 seconds. Add the red wine and cook until reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter; swirl to coat. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
- To serve, slice the steak into thin strips against the grain. Overlap the slices on a plate and pour over the red wine glaze.
