Description

This is a great recipe to impress your friends with. It’s pretty simple, won’t cost you an arm and a leg, and is absolutely delicious.

Ingredients

  • 1 head Garlic
  • 1 bunch Fresh Rosemary Or 3 Tablespoons Dried
  • 2 pounds Skirt Steak
  • ⅓ cups Light Olive, Canola, Or Blended Oil
  • Kosher Salt
  • Freshly Ground Pepper, to taste
  • 1 bag Ziploc, Large

Preparation

First, peel all the garlic and chop it up. Rough chop. You don’t want minced but you don’t want big, ungainly chunks either. Toss the garlic in the Ziploc bag.

Then strip your rosemary stalks and throw the leaves in the bag too. You can give them a rough chop if you want but it’s not entirely necessary. Throw the now naked stalks in the bag too. If you use dried rosemary, heat it up in a sauce pan with the oil, slowly heating it, not to boiling, and then let it cool. Stick it in the fridge if you want. It should be fine in about ten minutes. Heating the dried rosemary releases the flavor that’s been freeze-dried. Or whatever.

Then, take your steak and cut it in half, so it’ll fit in the Ziploc with having to get too twisty. Add your oil or your rosemary oil (depending on which method you’ve used) and let the steak marinate for at least a half hour in the fridge. Up to overnight.

Then, get your grill nice and hot. I mean HOT. Take your steak out of the bag and lay it on some sort of cookie sheet. Generously salt and pepper both sides. Very generously.

Place your steaks on the heated grill and char on each side – about five minutes. You want a nice char on the outside, and rare-medium rare on the inside. Or whatever temp you want.

Let rest five minutes and cut into thin-ish slices on the diagonal. Eat. Die. Repeat.

This looks absolutely delicious and certainly on my list to try. I imagine this would work with other types of steak also. Great tip about the rosemary…you learn something new all the time.

This didn’t have as much flavor as I hoped

Excellent, fresh and perfect way to prepare steak. I had some small tender steaks (not skirt) and they “dressed up well” with this easy recipe! Will definitely do again and again!
