Brazilian-Style Skirt Steak

Submitted by Krystal-Belle

"Skirt steak is definitely not something you hear of too much as being served by itself (nt in a fajita, that is), but now that I've mastered the concept of making it, I love to serve it as the main course for dinner and my husband can't get enough of it. He loves Brazilian steaks, which I had never attempted to tackle until a co-worker of mine told me the secret to great brazilian meat... SEA SALT! Who would've known?!"

 

• Ready In: 48mins
• Ingredients: 2
• Yields: 6 ounce steak
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 1 whole skirt steak
• sea salt (enough to coat steak) or kosher salt (enough to coat steak)

directions

1. Coat both sides of the steak in sea salt or kosher salt, either would be fine.
2. Pan-sear both sides of the steak, about 2-3 minutes on each side over medium-high heat.
3. Remove from pan and completely wrap steak in foil.
4. Grill or bake at 350 for about 30-40 minutes for a well done steak.
5. I usually serve this with a sea-salted potato (cover potato in sea salt, wrap in foil, bake for 1 hour on 350 degrees).

So the only reason 4 star is that mine is now in the oven and haven't tasted it yet. Based on the simplicity of the recipe and use of salt (which I LOVE) it gets 4 stars already.<br/>Though I guess I don't really know the definition of pan sear as I think I've already maybe burnt mine from having the oil too hot.<br/><br/>As for Chef #436648...if you can't tell what is too much salt on your own, that may be a personal problem. They're meant to be seasoned not crusted.

Thank you for this! So easy, and so tasty. Just a real beefy tender steak. The best way I have cooked skirt yet... and I have cooked HEAPS of it.

LOL at the one-star review "way too salty"!! How much did they use, a whole box? The recipe says to use enough to coat, so I imagined you just sprinkle it like you would any food. But common sense is not often widespread.. lol..

Way too salty! Not good at all. Sorry - I was excited upon reading the reviews - but this was a waste of $$ -
