Skirt Steak Ala Stove Top Grill Pan Recipes

PERFECTLY COOKED STEAK IN A GRILL PAN

Steps:

• Start by removing the steak from the packaging and patting it dry with a paper towel. This step is important because if there is moisture on the steak it will create steam, and you don't want to steam your steak, you want to sear it creating a flavorful crust on the outside, right?
• Then generously coat it with a layer of seasoning salt and seasoning pepper - these are spice mixes available at your grocery store that add more flavor than salt and pepper alone.
• Rub the seasoning into the beef.
• Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium high heat. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
• Once the butter just starts to brown, add the steak. Let the steak cook for 2 minutes, then rotate it 90 degrees (to create criss crossing grill marks) and let cook for another 2 minutes.
• Then flip the steak. Cook for 2 minutes, rotate 90 degrees, cook another 2 minutes.
• Remove the steak from the grill pan and let it rest for 5 minutes. If you are nervous that your steak won't be cooked enough, insert a meat thermometer sideways into the center of the steak. You will want it to read 120 degrees, since the internal temperature of the steak will increase slightly as it rests.
• Immediately melt another tablespoon of butter in the same grill pan, add the sliced shallot and mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 5 minutes. Once that was ready, I quickly wilted some spinach in olive oil and seasoned it with salt - mostly because I wanted to put something green on the plate.
• Now that your vegetables are ready and your meat has rested, serve your steak. It should be nice and pink and juicy in the middle.

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.

PAN-FRIED SKIRT STEAKS WITH SHALLOT BUTTER

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.
