Grilled Skirt Steak With Orzo Pasta Salad Recipes

GRILLED SKIRT-STEAK SALAD

Steps:

• Heat a grill to medium-high. Season steak with salt and pepper. Brush corn and onion with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Lightly brush grates with vegetable oil.
• Grill corn, turning occasionally, until lightly charred, 10 to 12 minutes. Grill onion until lightly charred and tender, 6 to 8 minutes a side. Transfer vegetables to a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, cut kernels from cobs and coarsely chop onion.
• Meanwhile, grill steak until a thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 125°F for medium-rare, about 3 minutes a side. Transfer to a plate; drizzle with 2 tablespoons vinaigrette. Let stand 10 minutes, then slice against the grain.
• In a large salad bowl or platter, layer romaine, bell pepper, tomatoes, corn, and onion. Season to taste; drizzle with half of remaining vinaigrette. Top with steak and feta. Serve with remaining dressing on the side.

GRILLED SKIRT STEAK WITH GARLIC AND HERBS

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor, combine basil, scallions, lemon thyme, garlic, peperoncini, salt and lemon zest and juice. Pour olive oil over mixture; blend until it turns to paste.
• Using paper towels, pat steak dry and place in a large bowl; slather paste mixture all over meat. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or overnight.
• Light the grill or heat the broiler with the rack as close to the heat source as possible. Use a paper towel to pat steak dry. (You can leave some of the paste, but for the best sear, the meat should be dry when it hits the grill.) Grill meat over direct heat until char lines appear, and meat is done to taste, 3 to 5 minutes per side, or broil until charred, 2 to 5 minutes per side. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain and serving, garnished with herbs and scallions.
