Best Pacific Island Skirt Steaks Recipes

GRILLED SKIRT STEAKS WITH HAWAIIAN-STYLE TERIYAKI GLAZE AND GRILLED BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Preheat a 2-burner cast-iron grill or two grill pans over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes.
• Drizzle the grapeseed oil over the steaks and sprinkle with salt. Place the steaks on the grill, seasoned-side down, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or to the desired doneness.
• Place the broccoli spears on the grill next to the steaks and cook for 4 minutes per side. Brush the steaks with some teriyaki glaze just before taking them off the grill. Let the steaks rest for about 8 minutes before slicing.
• Arrange the sliced steak and grilled broccoli on a serving platter and finish with additional teriyaki glaze. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and garnish with several sprigs of cilantro.
• Combine the pineapple juice, soy sauce, scallions, brown sugar, ginger, garlic and sesame oil in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until thick, about 20 minutes.

TENDER JUICY SKIRT STEAK (CHURRASCO)

Steps:

• Whisk garlic, balsamic vinegar, grill seasoning, oregano, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Add steak and toss to evenly coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until sizzling; add meat. Cook uncovered until liquids have drained from the steak, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; cover.
• Cook steak for 15 minutes; uncover and flip. Add water to the skillet as needed to keep steak moist. Continue cooking until slightly firm, hot, and lightly pink in the center, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Transfer meat to serving plate; reserve liquid in the skillet.
• Place onion in the skillet with reserved liquids; cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low; add mushrooms. Cook and stir until mushrooms are warmed through, about 5 minutes. Pour onion mixture over steak.
