Grilled Peri Peri Skirt Steak Recipes

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.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, over medium-high heat, bring the water and the salt to just a boil. Reduce the heat, slowly whisk in the polenta and season with pepper. Continue to whisk until the mixture starts to tighten up, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the fresh chopped herbs, 2 tablespoons of the butter and the Parmesan. Continue to stir until well combined and very thick, taste for seasoning adjustment.
• Liberally butter a 10-inch springform pan on the bottom and about 2-inches up the side. Pour in the hot polenta and with a rubber spatula, rubbed with butter, smooth out the top. Set aside to cool to room temperature, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours to set. (This can also be done up to 1 day ahead.)
• Preheat a grill to medium.
• When ready to grill, or pan fry, remove the polenta from the pan and cut it into equal pie shapes or cut circles with a biscuit cutter. Lightly oil a grill, brush each side of the polenta with olive oil and grill or pan sear until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. Arrange the polenta on a serving platter and serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat a 2-burner cast-iron grill or two grill pans over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes.
• Drizzle the grapeseed oil over the steaks and sprinkle with salt. Place the steaks on the grill, seasoned-side down, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or to the desired doneness.
• Place the broccoli spears on the grill next to the steaks and cook for 4 minutes per side. Brush the steaks with some teriyaki glaze just before taking them off the grill. Let the steaks rest for about 8 minutes before slicing.
• Arrange the sliced steak and grilled broccoli on a serving platter and finish with additional teriyaki glaze. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and garnish with several sprigs of cilantro.
• Combine the pineapple juice, soy sauce, scallions, brown sugar, ginger, garlic and sesame oil in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until thick, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• For the dry rub: Combine the black pepper, brown sugar, salt, ancho chile powder, granulated garlic, instant espresso powder, ground oregano, onion powder and dry mustard powder in a small bowl and stir to combine thoroughly.
• Toss the asparagus with the olive oil, salt, and pepper.
• Press the dry rub into the steak and rub liberally on both sides. Preheat an oiled grill to medium-high heat. Cook the steak on one side until seared, about 8 minutes, then flip over. Add the asparagus to the grill. Cook the asparagus and steak until the asparagus is tender, about 10 minutes, and the steak reaches an internal temperature of 135 degrees F. Tent the steak with foil and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.
• For the hash: Heat a 12 inch cast iron skillet (or heavy, large pan) to medium heat. Add 1/4 cup olive oil, then add the diced potatoes. Season with salt and pepper and let the potatoes cook on all sides. When the potatoes are about 3/4 of the way done and just starting to brown on all sides, add the onion and green and red bell peppers. Cook until the vegetables are cooked and caramelized, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and saute for another 30 seconds. Taste for seasoning.
• To serve: Cut the asparagus into 1-inch pieces and toss with the potato mixture. Plate the hash with the sliced steak on top, drizzle with the roasted red pepper hollandaise and garnish with the chopped scallions and sliced avocado. Dust with smoked paprika if desired.
• Over a stovetop gas flame, or under a broiler, char the red peppers on all sides. Place the peppers in a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let rest 10 minutes. Remove the plastic wrap and peel or rub the skin off each pepper. Discard the stems and seeds from the peppers.
• Add the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, paprika and cayenne to a blender. Blend the yolk mixture at medium speed until it lightens in color, about 25 seconds. Lower the speed and slowly begin to drizzle in the melted butter. Add in the charred peppers and blend until the mixture is smooth and homogenous. Season with more salt, cayenne pepper, or lemon juice if desired.

Steps:

• Prepare grill for cooking over direct heat with hot charcoal (high heat for gas; see Grilling Procedureepi:recipelink.
• While grill is heating, coarsely crush peppercorns with a mortar and pestle or by wrapping them in a kitchen towel and pressing with bottom of a heavy skillet.
• Pat steaks dry and sprinkle both sides with salt and crushed pepper, pressing to help adhere. Grill steaks on lightly oiled grill rack (covered only if using a gas grill), turning over once and moving around to avoid flare-ups if necessary, 6 to 8 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to a cutting board and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 5 minutes. Thinly slice steaks diagonally.

Steps:

• Pat the steaks dry and place in a large zip-top bag.
• Combine the garlic, oregano, vinegar, olive oil, adobo seasoning and salt in the bowl of a pilón or mortar and pestle, or a small food processor. Grind into a thin paste, then pour the marinade over the steak. Zip the bag then shake well to coat the meat, rubbing in gently as needed. Let rest on the counter for 10 to 20 minutes, or refrigerate overnight if you have time. Be sure to let the steak come to room temperature before grilling.
• If using a charcoal grill, start by building a fire with hardwood and kindling, then adding lump hardwood charcoal once the fire is kicking. Allow the fire to mellow. If using a gas grill, set the temperature to 500 degrees.
• Meanwhile, make the wasakaka: Combine the lime juice, parsley, cilantro, oregano, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl and whisk to incorporate. If you'd like a creamier sauce, blend in a small food processor or blender. (Wasakaka will keep for 3 or 4 days in a sealed jar in the refrigerator.)
• Once the grill is ready, remove skirt steak from the bag and shake off excess marinade. Place on the grill and sear for 1 to 3 minutes. Using tongs, pull up the corner to ensure the steak has a good dark char, bordering on burned in places, before flipping, then cook for 1 more minute for rare, 2 minutes for medium-rare. Be careful not to overcook or steak will be tough.
• Remove steak from grill and let rest for 5 to 7 minutes. Slice into strips and pour over wasakaka, or serve sauce on the side. Taste and sprinkle with additional salt, if desired.
