Skirt Steak With Shallots Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Add the skirt steak to a shallow dish. Add the sherry, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, salt and pepper. Carefully toss to combine, then marinate the skirt steak for 30 to 45 minutes at room temperature. (Optional: Use a fork to prick the steak many times to help the marinade do its job.)
• Prepare a gas or charcoal grill for cooking over direct medium-high heat.
• Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry. Grill on one side for about 5 minutes, then flip and continue to grill until medium-rare, another 3 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Heat the tortillas over a direct flame until the desired char is reached on both sides. Place in a covered pan and keep warm in the oven.
• Slice the skirt steak against the grain. Make tacos with the steak and Avocado Salsa, then garnish each with Shallot Rings and cilantro leaves.
• Mix together the cilantro, garlic, jalapeno and onion on a cutting board. Add the lime juice and salt and continue mincing until combined. Add this mixture to the halved avocado flesh in a bowl and mash with a fork until the avocados are broken down and everything is combined.
• Soak the shallots in the buttermilk in a bowl for up to 30 minutes. Preheat 3 inches oil in a large Dutch oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the grits in a large paper bag. Pour off the buttermilk from the shallots, then add the shallots to the bag and shake to coat. Add the coated shallots to the oil in batches and fry until crispy, about 2 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt.

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.

Steps:

• Remove any excess fat from the steaks. Sprinkle the meat on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Choose a black cast-iron skillet large enough to hold the steaks in one layer and brush it with oil.
• Heat the skillet over high heat. Add the steaks side by side and cook about 3 to 4 minutes or until thoroughly browned on one side. Turn and continue cooking until lightly browned, about 3 minutes for medium rare.
• Transfer the steaks to a warm platter and keep warm. Pour off the fat from the skillet.
• Add 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet and when melted, add the shallots, garlic and thyme. Cook briefly until wilted, but do not burn. Add the vinegar, cook briefly and swirl in the remaining butter and the parsley.
• Remove skillet from heat and add the steaks and any juices that have accumulated on the platter. Blend well, and serve immediately with the shallot butter over the steaks.

Steps:

• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke.
• Brush the steaks with the vegetable oil and season liberally with salt and pepper.
• Place the steak in the skillet, working in batches as needed. Cook, flipping once halfway through, until charred on the outside and medium-rare inside, 4-8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the steak. If working in batches, wipe out the skillet between batches.
• Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium-high. Add the garlic, shallots, and jalapeño and cook, turning as needed, until blackened in spots and softened, about 8 minutes.
• Transfer the vegetables to a food processor or blender. Add the parsley, cilantro, olive oil, oregano, and vinegar and purée until smooth. Season the chimichurri with salt and pepper. You should have about 1 cup.
• To serve, cut the steaks against the grain into ¼-inch thick slices. Transfer to a serving platter or plates and spoon the charred chimichurri over the top.
• Enjoy!
