Garlic Balsamic Skirt Steak Recipes

BALSAMIC SKIRT STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Whisk soy sauce and balsamic vinegar together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add skirt steak and turn to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator, 30 to 45 minutes.
• Remove skirt from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard remaining marinade. Season steak with salt.
• Cook steak until it begins to firm and is reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 3 to 6 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).

BALSAMIC MARINATED SKIRT STEAK

Steps:

• In a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, combine vinegar, sugar, garlic, rosemary, 1 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Pierce meat all over with a fork; add to marinade, and turn to coat. Let marinate at room temperature at least 15 minutes, or cover and refrigerate up to 1 day.
• Heat grill to high; oil grates. Remove steaks from marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Grill steaks 2 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate; cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest 5 minutes.

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.

ROASTED GARLIC STUFFED STEAK WITH GARLIC MASHERS AND BALSAMIC CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Marinate the steaks overnight in olive oil, sea salt and fresh cracked pepper. You can utilize any fresh herbs you have in your garden or local market such as rosemary. Take the steaks out and let them rest about an hour before you start to work with them. In the meantime, fire up the oven to 350 degrees F. Take your garlic bulbs and slice them in half diagonally. Season with olive oil and sea salt. Roast on a pan in the oven for about 15 minutes or until the garlic is nice and golden brown and your house smells heavenly. Take out and set aside.
• Heat your saute pan with some olive oil and throw in about 6 cloves of fresh chopped garlic when hot. Add spinach and saute until spinach is just wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Chop up the sun-dried tomatoes and toss with the spinach. When the spinach has cooled, throw in the brie and the roasted garlic. You can easily pull the roasted garlic from the 'husk' by using a toothpick to pull it out. Mix together very well!
• Season with salt and pepper. You can also throw in a teaspoon or so of fresh rosemary at this point. Set aside. Take your steaks and cut a slit into the side of them, just as you would with stuffing pork chops. Carefully stuff the steaks with your roasted garlic stuffing. Throw those guys on the BBQ for about 3-4 minutes per side pending your guests preference. I serve these steaks over garlic mashers which I usually just throw in an extra bulb of garlic to roast when making the stuffing and mash it all up with some fresh potatoes, butter and cream. A little parsley to garnish.
• For the sauce, take 4 tablespoons of butter and melt in a saucepan over low heat. Add about 6 cloves of fresh chopped garlic, 1/4 cup of cream and 4 tablespoons of good quality balsamic vinegar. Throw in a sprig of fresh rosemary and reduce the sauce by about 1/3. Take out the rosemary. To plate, place lean against a heap of the garlic mashers and drizzle the sauce around the plate and over the potatoes. Garnish with fresh rosemary. It is excellent to have a nice fresh loaf of bread to serve with this. I also BBQ up some fresh local corn on the grill to accompany this meal. It is a fairly easy and gourmet meal to prepare. You can even make the stuffing the night before. Enjoy! And long live garlic!!!

BALSAMIC-DRIZZLED SKIRT STEAK WITH GARLIC HERB TOASTS AND PEAR SALAD

Steps:

• Wash and dry all produce. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Halve and core pear; slice into ½-inch wedges. Cut one baguette into ½-inch cubes. Place pear and baguette cubes on separate sides of a foil-lined baking sheet. Toss each with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of oil. Bake until baguette is crispy and pears have softened a bit, about 10 minutes.
• Trim, then thinly slice mushrooms. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook until tender, about 7 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside. Once pear and baguette cubes have baked 10 minutes, remove cubes from sheet and set aside. Flip pear and continue baking until browned, another 10 minutes.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for mushrooms over medium-high heat. Season steak all over with salt and pepper. Add to pan and cook to desired doneness, 3-5 minutes per side. Remove from pan and let rest at least 5 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain.
• While steak cooks, halve remaining baguette lengthwise, then cut in half again crosswise to create quarters. Place half the garlic herb butter and 1 TBSP olive oil in a small bowl. Heat in microwave until butter is melted, about 30 seconds. Drizzle mixture over cut sides of baguette. Place on another baking sheet and toast in oven until golden, 6-7 minutes.
• Add ⅓ cup water, 1 tsp balsamic vinegar (we'll use the rest in the next step), demi-glace, and mushrooms to same pan over medium-high heat and stir, scraping up any brown bits on bottom of pan. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and let thicken, about 1 minute. Add remaining garlic herb butter and stir until melted.
• Toss together arugula, baguette cubes, remaining balsamic vinegar, and 1½ TBSP olive oil in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Divide steak, salad, and garlic bread between plates. Drizzle sauce over steak. Top salad with pear and crumble over ricotta salata.
