Sauteed Skirt Steak Recipes

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 200°F.
• Pat steaks dry and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Heat oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then cook steaks, turning over once, 5 to 7 minutes total for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to a plate and keep warm in oven.
• Discard fat from skillet, then add water and bring to a boil, scraping up brown bits from bottom of skillet. Add scallions and remaining tablespoon butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cook, tightly covered, over moderate heat until scallions are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer scallions with tongs to a platter and put steaks on top.
• Pour any steak juices accumulated on plate into juices in skillet and boil until slightly thickened. Add lime juice and pour sauce over steaks and scallions.

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a pot and cover with cold water by about 1 inch; add salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until fork-tender, about 8 minutes, then drain.
• Meanwhile, cut the steak crosswise into 8 pieces and season with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. When hot, add the steak (in batches, if necessary) and cook until medium rare, 1 to 5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness. Transfer to a plate and tent loosely with aluminum foil.
• Reduce the heat under the skillet to medium and add the bell peppers, onion, garlic, a splash of water and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are slightly soft, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Increase the heat to medium high, add 3/4 cup water and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 4 more minutes. Stir in the potatoes, parsley and lemon juice. Divide the steak among plates and serve with the vegetables and lemon wedges.

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.

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, blend the oil, balsamic, salt and pepper. Then pour the marinade over the flank steak in a pan. Allow the steak to marinade for 20 to 30 minutes.
• For the zucchini, heat a shallow saucepan over high heat and bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Reduce the heat and add the zucchini to the water and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from the water and place in a colander to drain.
• To prepare the steak, heat a large saute pan over high heat until the verge of smoking. Remove the steak from the marinade and remove any excess marinade before cooking. Then reduce the heat and place the steak in the pan. Cook the steak on each side for 4 to 5 minutes, turning to avoid scorching. If the steak begins to crust or brown, reduce the heat. After cooking to desired temperature, remove from the pan and allow the steak to rest.
• To build the plate, add a portion of hot potatoes, steamed zucchini and steak, sliced on bias. Then finish with the veal stock.

Steps:

• Brush the steak with the Worcestershire, and marinate in a pyrex dish for about 15 minutes.
• You can leave on the counter or refrigerate.
• Lightly pat the steaks dry with paper towels, and season well with the salt.
• Heat half of the oil in a nonstick or heavy skillet, over medium-high heat until hot.
• Saute half the steaks (or less so as not to crowd), about 3 minutes on each side (for medium-rare).
• Cook in batches, with additional oil, until all the steaks are done.
• Transfer to platter, loosely cover with foil, and let stand about 5 minutes before serving.

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.

Steps:

• Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet (preferably cast iron) over high 5 minutes. Generously season steaks with salt and pepper. Add 1/2 teaspoon butter to pan, then immediately top with one steak. Repeat with remaining 1/2 teaspoon butter and steak. Cook without moving steaks until a golden brown crust forms, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook 2 minutes more for rare, or 3 to 4 minutes more for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Slice steaks against the grain; serve with sauce, if desired.
• Heat a 10- or 12-inch cast-iron skillet over high heat. Season the steaks liberally with salt and pepper. Seconds before adding a steak, drop 1/2 teaspoon of the butter into the pan and immediately top with the steak. Repeat with the remaining steak. Sear for 3 minutes without moving the steak (to form a crust). Turn and cook for 2 minutes for rare or 3 to 4 for medium rare. Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a board or platter for a few minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Whisk garlic, balsamic vinegar, grill seasoning, oregano, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Add steak and toss to evenly coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until sizzling; add meat. Cook uncovered until liquids have drained from the steak, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; cover.
• Cook steak for 15 minutes; uncover and flip. Add water to the skillet as needed to keep steak moist. Continue cooking until slightly firm, hot, and lightly pink in the center, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Transfer meat to serving plate; reserve liquid in the skillet.
• Place onion in the skillet with reserved liquids; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low; add mushrooms. Cook and stir until mushrooms are warmed through, about 5 minutes. Pour onion mixture over steak.
