Skirt Steak With Chimichurri Sauce And Yucca Fries Recipes

GRILLED SKIRT STEAK WITH CHIMICHURRI

Steps:

• Pick the leaves off your bunch of parsley, and finely chop them. Peel all your garlic cloves and mince finely. You can use a food processor, garlic press, or an old fashioned knife and cutting board.
• In a small bowl, combine the parsley, oregano, red wine vinegar, garlic, oil, red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Stir well to combine
• Fire up your grill to preheat. Season your steak with salt and pepper. When your grill is extremely hot (if you have a thermometer on your grill, it should be in the range of 500-600F), lay the steaks on the grill. Skirt steaks are very thin, so this process will be quick. Do not close the grill, and don't walk away!
• When the first side has been on the grill for about 1 minute, rotate the steaks to get some solid grill marks. After another minute, flip the steak, letting cook for 1 minute, then rotating, then letting cook for another minute or two. Once you've established a solid criss-cross, you can start moving around a little bit more erratically. This will ensure that you get a delicious uniform grill crust--none of that fakey McFakerson neat criss cross lame-ness you see in Outback Steakhouse commercials. These instructions are for medium rare, which is in our opinion the best way to enjoy your steak. If you like it more or less well done, add or subtract cooking time.
• When the steak is cooked, transfer to a plate and let rest for a solid 10 minutes. Don't cut into it before then. Serve as large steaks or slice against the grain and top with generous amounts of chimichurri.

Steps:

• Season beef with salt and pepper and place it into a ziptop bag.
• In the bowl of a food processor combine herbs, garlic, red pepper and process until chopped fine but not pureed. Scrape mixture out into a large measuring cup. Add olive oil, vinegar and lime juice and stir until combined. Pour about 1 cup into a small serving bowl and reserve for later. Pour the rest over the beef in the zip top bag. Seal and marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
• Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove meat from ziptop bag and place onto hot grill. Discard marinade. Grill 5-6 minutes per side until desired doneness. Remove from grill, loosely tent with foil and let rest for 5-10 minutes. Slice meat across grain into long strips and serve with reserved chimichurri sauce and crusty bread.

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor, combine the olive oil, sherry vinegar, lemon juice, parsley, basil, oregano, garlic and shallots. Pulse until well blended but do not puree.

(If cooking steak another day, refrigerate sauce and return to room temperature before serving.)
• Season the steak with 1 teaspoon of the kosher salt on each side, as well as 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper per side and place in a large, resealable plastic bag. Add the remaining chimichurri sauce from the processor. Seal bag and refrigerate the steak for at least 2 and up to 4 hours.
• Preheat a grill to medium heat.
• Once the steak has finished marinating, remove it from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for 30 minutes. Brush the excess chimichurri sauce off the steak and set the steak over the hot grill. Cook for 6 minutes on the first side. Rotate the steak 45 degrees, and cook another 6 minutes. Turn the steak over and continue to cook until the steak is done, about 6 to 8 minutes for medium-rare. Once cooked, lay the steak on a clean cutting board, and allow it to rest for 5 to 7 minutes before slicing across the grain into 2-inch wide strips. Serve with crusty bread and the reserved chimichurri sauce.

GRILLED FLANK STEAK WITH CHIMICHURRI SAUCE AND YUCCA FRIES

Steps:

• In a shallow bowl, combine the sherry wine, sherry vinegar, red onions, garlic and olive oil. Stir. Lay the steak over the marinade and turn it over. Wrap loosely and refrigerate overnight. Remove the steak from the marinade and season with the salt and pepper. Grill the steak over high heat for 4 to 5 minutes per side. Let rest for 5 minutes before thinly slicing.
• Chimichurri sauce:.
• In the bowl of a food processor, combine the olive oil, sherry vinegar, lemon juice, parsley, basil, oregano, garlic and shallots. Pulse until well blended but do not puree. Add the black pepper, the salt and crushed red pepper flakes. Transfer the sauce to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for at least 2 hours, and up to 6 hours at room temperature. Chimichurri sauce will keep refrigerated in a well sealed container for up to 3 days.
• For the yucca fries:.
• Place the vegetable oil in a 6-quart Dutch oven and heat to 325 degrees F using a candy thermometer to register the temperature.
• While the oil is heating, peel the yucca and cut into wedges about 5 inches long and 1-inch wide. Place the yucca wedges in ice water to soak. When the oil reaches the desired temperature, remove the yucca from the ice water and pat dry with kitchen towels. Fry in batches in the hot oil, being sure to raise the heat as you add the yucca. Fry the yucca until they are soft, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the oil using a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper-lined platter to drain. Repeat with the remaining yucca.
• Once all the yucca are fried, raise the temperature of the oil to 350 degrees F.
• Return the fried yucca to the oil and fry until crisp, golden brown, and puffed, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Remove the yucca fries from the oil using a slotted spoon and season with the salt and pepper. Repeat the process with the remaining yucca.
