MICHAEL SYMON'S GRILLED SKIRT STEAK RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• Season the steak liberally with salt and pepper. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, rosemary and chili flakes. Add about 1/3 of a cup of olive oil. Place the steak in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade into it. Marinate for a minimum of 2 hours and preferably overnight in the fridge. Remove the steak from the fridge 30 minutes prior to use. Heat a grill over medium-high heat. Wipe off the bits of the marinade from the steak and drizzle it with olive oil. Place the steak on the grill and cook 2 to 4 minutes per side, or until the meat has grill marks. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes, then slice across the grain and serve.

SKIRT STEAK WITH MUSHROOMS AND RED WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Soak dried mushrooms in hot water 15 minutes. Drain mushrooms, reserving liquid. Rinse mushrooms thoroughly. Strain soaking liquid through coffee filter or paper towel.
• Meanwhile, let steaks warm at room temperature 10-15 minutes.
• Heat oil in heavy skillet over medium heat. Add steaks and saute, turning once, about 8 minutes for medium-rare. Remove to serving platter and cover loosely.
• Pour off all but thin layer of fat from skillet. Heat over medium heat. Add shallots and cook, stirring constantly, just until wilted, about 30 seconds. Stir in both dried and fresh mushrooms and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Pour in wine and mushroom-soaking liquid. Boil until liquid is reduced by half. Stir in cream and any meat juices on plates. Taste and adjust seasonings. Spoon sauce over steaks and serve hot.

GRILLED SKIRT STEAK WITH STICKY BARBECUE ONIONS

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
• For the sticky barbecue onions: Heat a cast-iron skillet over direct heat. Melt the butter. Add the onions with a pinch of salt and cook until they begin to caramelize, about 5 minutes. Whisk together the ketchup, vinegar, mustard, sugar, cayenne, cumin and paprika in a small bowl (see Cook's Note). Add the sauce to the onions. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until the liquid reduces and begins to get sticky, 8 to 10 minutes. Move over indirect heat to keep warm while you cook your steak.
• For the steak: Sprinkle the steak with salt and pepper on both sides and bring to room temperature. Drizzle the steak with the oil and sprinkle with the oregano and paprika on both sides. Place the steak over direct heat and cook until it gets a nice char, 3 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
• Add a splash of oil, a pinch of salt and some pepper to a cutting board. Place the steak on the seasoned oil on the cutting board, flip and rest 5 minutes. Slice the steak against the grain and serve topped with the onions.
• (Alternatively, you can cook the onions over medium-high heat on a stovetop, and the steak in a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over high heat on a stovetop.)
